The audio driver for most integrated audio systems is seperate from the drivers themselves on the MB CD.
Search through the CD, and you should be able to locate the install files for the sound codecs.

You can also go to device manager, and checkfor "?" or "!" marks for hardware that has problems. You might try clicking on update driver for the sound chip, and browsing the CD for the files.

A friend had a similar problem as you describe. If this was a pre-installed OS system, (OS, and software came as OS\App Recovery disks), Check >Control Panel, >System, >Device Manager, for problems, then Check those Multimedia devices for correctly operating drivers in each device. The cure I used was a complete OS\App re-installation. Remember to Back Up all wanted files! IE., My Docs, My Music, My Pictures, I regreted losing those the most, but the fresh install was greatly appreciated even with my Alzheimers!
