I reformatted my hard drive and installed the drivers. Board is ECS 945GCT-M, with intel duo core CPU and 1GB ram. Prpblem is no audio. When I check in device manager i see yellow axclamation mark by (winmm wdm audio compatability driver)When I insert an audio cd windows says there is no sound device or it may be in use by another program. Would appreciate any ideas.

to [i]update[/i] the audio driver using the Device Manager?

If that doesn't work, you may be able to repair a corrupted audio driver from your installation CD.

You could also run [i]chkdsk.exe C: /F[/i], and the program will fix sector errors it detects upon the next boot.

Please post back and let us know if you are able to resolve the glitch.

Thanks to all for your help. While waiting I uninstalled the windows driver, and that solved it. Apparently windows and the on board systems weren't compatable. Many thanks again for the quick and helpful ideas.
