Default Music only from CD

Hi

I recently formatted and reinstalled Win98... till then, my onboard
sound card was working fine. After reinstalling (I have my original
Motherboard CD, so all the drivers are in place), I get no sound from
the soundcard (soundcard is a Realtek AC97 - ALC100) jack at the back.
Microphone recording doesn't work either. My audio CD's play find
though (if i use the jack in the CD drive).

I got fed up and put in a PCI soundcard (and I have the latest
drivers), and while I got audio output, it just refused to detect an
microphone - i.e. if I tell it to use the PCI soundcard as the
prefered device, the recording icons gray out - no advanced options or
anything...

Any suggestions? This is really driving me nuts... Perhaps there is
some jumper on the motherboard (a Mercury 810 FST) that I need to set?
Any hints?

Thanks
Srikanth

Start the computer, go into the BIOS setup using the "Del" key, find the
"Features" section and make the onboard audio is properly configured.
Be sure to save any changes when exiting. If this doesn't help, the
following may have drivers for the motherboard.
