Checked for a updated driver but the one on the website is the same version as the one installed.

Rechecked Device Manager, no check marks or exclamation points on anything, everything says that it is working properly.

The audio is Reltek AC’97 Audio for VIA (R) Audio Controller.

This computer is so slow. It takes 16 minutes from the time I turn the computer on to the time everything is loaded.

Restarted twice and the sound worked right but didn’t play a start up sound. Upon restarting for a third time no sound again, my guess is that on the third time Avast loaded before sound card drivers, I’m 99% sure this problem is caused by Avast?
