I am helping a friend upgrade his system, which now consists of:
AMD Duron 900
Gigabyte GA7-DXR BIOS F6, AMD chipset.
256MB DDR RAM
Voodoo3 3000 16MB video
SB Live Value
300w ATX power
Sony CD-RW
Toshiba DVD
Windows ME

I cannot get the system to utilise the soundcard, Wiindows recognises it and
loads the software yet on rebooting the computer has no sound.  There is no
volume icon in the tray and in the Sounds and Multimedia section in Control
Panel there is no recording or playback device listed.  In System properties
all devices are listed as working properly, no exclamation marks whatsoever.
I have tried re-installing, the card, it used IRQ5 then IRQ11 but the result
was the same.  I then tried using the onboard Creative sound and again there
was nothing.  I am completely baffled.

Any advice appreciated
