Ok, I have a VIA AC'97 built in sound and it worked perfectly. However about 2 months ago while I was still on XP, the sound card started not play a full clip of music, it just play a fraction of a second of it about every 25 seconds (if the sound file lasts that long). Will I called HP, and they sad I had to reinstall XP that a driver got screwed up... Will anyways I then installed Windows server 2003 cuz XP sucks and guess what same problem! I used the latest drivers, checked everything out nothing! Just has the same proble m I had wi th XP! Please, does anyone know how I can fix this problem? I really don't feel like spending $20 on a sound card

Look in device manager and see if you have a listing for sound. If so, right click on the listing and choose properties, then update driver, choose the correct driver from your disk and update.

Here's what I'd try...1st, make sure to have the lastest available drivers onhand...either from the mobo manufacturer's website or from VIA...then go to device manager & uninstall all sound related entries, reboot & let Windows do it's thing...if it asks from the driver disk, just direct it to where you downloaded the drivers....
