I am also experiencing the same problem, I am operating Windows XP home,
after updating to SP2 I have lost all audio, the drivers are installed
but the sytem does not seem to recognise them, when I try to get int
sound. I have had a technician look at it and he has told me that my
entire motherboard now needs replacing, i find this hard to believe as
by searching the net this problem has happened to a number of
people...... so I would really appreciate if you find out how to fix
the problem because I don't really want to replace my entire
motherboard if it is not really necessary. (I have a MSI 845 Pro with
onboard sound card, AC972.1) I have also been in contact with my
original supplier and he was shocked to think that this would be the
case but I have just spent a small fortune on one support technician, I
cant afford to do it again. Any advice would be appreciated.

The simplest possible solution before purchasing a new mobo would be to
uninstall SP2 and see if that solves the problem.
Start>Control Panel>Add or Remove programs>WindowsXP Service Pack2
You may just need updated drivers for your soundcard you can get them
on the internet and they are free. Go to the manufacturers website and
download them. If you uninstall SP2 and then reinstall it, make sure you
disconnect all peripherals such as printers, scanners, and cameras.
Only connect the monitor, mouse and keyboard.
