Realtek AC'97 Audio

I have a problem, i just got my OS installed and i just installed the drivers for everything including audio, which is the basic built-in motherboard audio.

The mother board is a msi k8n sli motherboard. I have no sound coming out of my speakers, i tried two sets of speakers and headphones and i still get no sound. I even tinkered with my audio controls that on the bottom right side of the screen and still nothing.

Any suggestions?

PS: My DirectX version is 9.0c and my realtek driver is ALCXWDM.SYS. Also, i am running xp pro sp2.

Specs:

AMD 64 4400+ dual core x2
1024mb corsair ram
250gb seagate barracuda
6800gt nvidia card
philips dvd-dl
600W PSU
MSI K8N SLI Motherboard
and one sexy case.
 
I just downloaded the WDM_A379 driver from realtek's site, however. I can now only hear sound from windows media player, i cant hear anything else.

Any ideas?
 
This might sound a bit simple, but it is a common mistake. Have you installed the CDROM audio pass through cable?
 
By chance, did you install both the AC'97 audio driver and the audio driver for the nForce 4 chipset? If you did, that's problably the issue you're looking at. While, yeah, you could reinstall Windows, try uninstalling the nForce 4 and AC '97 drivers, reboot, then install the nForce 4 drivers only.
