Thanks for a great hint - and SO SIMPLE! I replaced a motherboard on an e-machine
system and had everything working but the sound. Tried all other "solutions" (uninstalling
and reinstalling sound drivers, installing the latest version of sound drivers, stripping
the registry of all previous sound drivers, stripping all non-motherboard PCI\VEN_ids
from the registry, cleaning up the *.inf files, reinstalling Windows, etc.) The
device list was always clean, but the sound never worked. After spending more than
12 hours on this problem, your solution took only two minutes to fix. Thanks!!!!
