Lost my sound

I did it drive to drive copying using all Western Dig, and now I have no mixer or sound capabilities.
I have tried new drivers for sound card that did not work also tried this


OK we got it fixed. The plug and play software emulator had was missing.
Fixed by searching for machine.inf then copy to temp directory. remove
at about line 20 " ExcludeFromSelect=* "

goto control panel, add new hardware, next (let it seach), yes hardware
is connected, next, scroll to bottom, add new hardware device, next,
install from list, next, select system devices, next, select have disk,
point to amended copy of machine.inf in temp directory, scroll to "plug
and play software device emulator" in right hand column, next and
complete install.


This did not work

Any ideas???

Thanks

Are you using the Audigy or the on-board sound?

If you're using the Audigy, is the on-board sound disabled in BIOS?

If you're using the Audigy, try removing it from the computer, boot the computer up once, turn off the computer and pull the power cord from the wall outlet, reinstall the Audigy and boot up again.
