with reagrds to the device manager, the realtek is showing under the MS UAA Bus Driver for HDA, when i look at the properties it says that the device is working properly.

Wow. You have quite a puzzling set of facts.

In fact, yes, your Sys Info and DevMgr both show Windows does find the audio hardware and the drivers for it are, in fact, installed and running with Status=OK. So it's not clear why DxDiag doesn't show your Realtek device (or why it's not appearing in Sound->Audio tab)

I'm going to suggest a couple things

1. At any point, you can make sure it's not a hardware issue with your computer (vs. just a Windows problem). See [post=766270]How to recover your folders/files when Windows won’t boot[/post]. Follow its instructions to create a Knoppix CD. Then boot into Knoppix (an alternate and free Operating System). You'll find a media player in Knoppix. Use it to play a music CD or something. If sound plays under Knoppix, you'll know your computer hardware is fine (and it's a Windows problem)

2. Also interesting: Your SysInfo just reminded me you have a webcam installed. On rare occasion, The web cam can actually affect the sound card (they're both in the same Windows device class= MEDIA). So this is worth a shot
> Try uninstalling your web cam (look for it in Add/Remove Programs)
> Then uninstall Realtek (Look first through Add/Remove Programs as i'm guessing your audio sound has an entry there. Remove it via Add/Remove Programs)
> Reboot
> Reinstall just Realtek (by the way, do you have the latest Realtek driver?)

If all this troubleshooting is getting too painful you might also consider another XP reinstall (after you at first use Knoppix to prove the hardware is OK). But this time complete the SP3 install first. After which you can install Realtek and test your sound. And then reinstall the web cam

/* edit */
And, if you choose to go the reinstall route and want to extra cautious, you might even create a hard drive image backup / clone of your current stuff just so you can still get back to where you are if need as well as backup all your stuff before the reinstall

Typical events for which you can look forward...

That eMachines system board has been a problem board since its release... What you report is typical of about 60 percent of those motherboards...
You will not have an easy or inexpensive fix, and the motherboard will likely go dead within weeks or a month...

There are 14 eMachine boards that are among the largest of failures... They are made in Korea under license from Intel and others, but they curl or stretch internally as they age, causing the wiring channels to twist and break... first one thng goes bad, and then another.
The CPU is good, as is the memory, optical drives and hard drive, but the case and the motherboard are likely to drive you bonkers.

Good luck on getting a fix.
