AC97 Sound Card Shown in Device Manager but not in Multi-media Preferred devices

Reboot to Safe Mode
Open Device Manager
Remove ALL Sound &Multimedia devices
Remove ALL error-flagged devices
Remove ALL entries in the 'Other Devices' branch - if present
Reboot to Normal Mode - Windows will reinstall the required drivers,
hopefully curing your problem.

Vie uninstalled and reinstalled the TV Card as u said. Still the same
problem.
Same error reported using hwinfo.
The sound is on-board and its definitely enabled in the BIOS.

Thanks again

I don't think the TV card has taken over the sound - but it's likely
that
there's a conflict.
Try uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers for it (remove them in
Safe
Mode, and reboot to Normal Mode)

BTW - is the sound an on-board chip, or a PCI card??

If on-board, have you perhaps disabled it in the BIOS??
