Help! Sound card not being detected. Audio service not running.

[mbilby65]

My board is a MSI B250 PC Mate. Issue began after installing new CPU fan but I am not sure how that could be related. No devices are showing installed on sound control panel. I have tried to restart my pc. I have tried updating drivers, I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling drivers. I am not sure what else to do.

make sure the cpu fan on the right mb header..in the bios make sure under on board devices the sound card is on. try reloading the intel chipset drivers.
