Check the BIOS and make sure the sound is enabled. Also, check for "Unknown Devices" in Device Manager. Finally, remove any PCI cards as these could initially pose a conflict. If all else fails, reset the BIOS defaults. If the sound device is still not seen by Windows, it could be a defective board.
