Problem with new motherboard

motherboard


Problem: i just assembled my new computer....
athlon64 3000 socket 939
above Mobo
gig of mushkin 3500 level II
120 gig maxtor hard drive
40 gig maxtor hard drive
500 watt aspire PSU
6800GT

question 1:
everything is working ok, except that my sound doesnt work. i try to play a song in media player and it says "no audio hardware available...". i used the CD that came with the board, and ive downloaded the nvidia platform driver from their website...no dice. and ive checked and rechecked that my speakers are plugged in right, but that shouldnt affect the audio hardware being available or not. any ideas?

ANSWERED!

question 2:
Now i went into my bios to try some minor overclocking with my 3000, and i tried to set mmy multiplier to 10 to give me a nice 2.0Ghz, but it was stuck at either 8 or 9. ...i can only choose from the 2 options? i thought this board was a great overclocker?

FIrst is the sound enabled in the bios? Also did you check the hardware manager for any explimations or question marks. SOunds like a driver issue.

You can only select lower multipliers with A64 FX is unlocked. Isn't normal multiplier for the 3000 9x200 so you can't select 10. Runs at 1800Mhz. Lowering the multiplier can let you run the memory faster without the cpu going past its limits.

bump; i am curious also, as this would be the socket 939 mobo of choice for me.
