Default Win 98SE no sound even with a new sound card HELP!!!!

Hi Folks, I was wondering if one of you folks could help me here!

Specs, err Windows 98 Se, Packard Bell Pulsar 600
196 meg ram

ok so it aint anything great but it'll do for my kids, so we are given
this computer and some disks!!!! not too sure if they are the correct
ones but I used the 98 disk to install a fresh copy of windows 98se so
I had a clean start,

Graphics were no good so I put in a spare All-in-wonder VE64 i had
lying around, so thats the graphics sorted, still no sound,

So I figure the disk didn't have the correct drivers and I went in
search, and search and search. . . . man i never thought it wouuld take
so long. eventually I found the motherboard manufacturer and downloaded
the yamaha driver it said were the installed ones, still no sound.!!!!

when I checked under the multi media files on the control panels
section there are none listed.!!

ok so I aint got time for this so I go and get a cheep sound card for a
fiver and bag that in thinking that will sort it out,!! no joy!!

I still have no sound or multimedia listed in the control panels. So it
is another piece of software that wasn't installed, yeh???

Any ideas folks, basically I have installed win 98 se twice, full
updates from microsoft, no sound, installed on-board sound drivers, no
sound, . I have put in a new PCI sound card, installed drivers still no
sound!!

Please help, thanks in advance even if you only read this file

After you installed the new sound card. At boot did it show that Windows
found a new device?
If not...you may have a section in MB bios to turn off the on board sound
card/device.
Did you check "Device Manager" for any red-mark alerts pertaining to sound
devices?
In control panel after the install of the sound card open multimedia and
see if the card is listed in the dropdowns.
Post back.

After install, the reboot showed a new hardware and went through the
install of the drivers, There was no red marks on the device manager
but the new card does not list in the drop down of the multimedia, it
is greyed out so I cannot select the card, no sound, and windows media
comes up with a problem with the sound device it may no exist or be
installed properly
