Try going into the BIOS setup and set the AC97 audio to AUTO if it is not already set. This may help.
Good Luck

Same problem
Okay, I have the same problem. Specs below:
ATI Xpress 200 (RS480)
ATI SB400
ITE 8716
I visited www.ati.com but found no help there. I'm running Windows XP Professional and am using an AMD Athlon 64.
Is this the replacement driver I want?:
https://support.ati.com/ics/support/default.asp?deptID=894&task=knowledge&folderID=27
Under "Sounds and Audio Devices" in the Control Panel, in the Volume tab it states plainly "No Audio Device" and the remainder of options are gray/background/inaccessible. In the Audio tab it follows: No Playback Devices, No recording devices, No MIMI Playback Devices; likewise under the Voice tab.
I also have the yellow question marks in my Device Manager next to the "Other Devices" tab and "Multimedia Audio Controller" and "SM Bus
Controller" sub-tabs.
I have the disk for my motherboard but I don't believe the sound was working before XP was installed.

Go to device manager and delete the sound and audio devices tab. Then restart your computer and when it finds new hardware, it wil ask you for the drivers. at this time you should use the motherboard CD for the drivers, they should be there.
Good luck. tell us what happens

Eddy Rassey,
Thank you very much. Your prompt advice was stellar. Everything is working beautifully now.

Hynesy,
I believe what you mean is: "People who have problems should be starting their own threads instead of stealing Demonkid's."
Removed: redundancy, spelling error, misplacement of comma.
Added: missing apostrophe, missing capitalization.
Untouched: passive-aggressive flavoring.
I feel the addition to an existing thread was justified due to the similarity of the problem. Likewise, the solution. However, I did not want to attempt someone else's solution when it included deleting important files.

I didn't mean to be rude or anything, but people in these forums are extremely helpful and the people that start there own threats get more user specific replies for their problem, and please don't undermine my sentence structure, I feel that what I wrote is clear and doesn't needs to be re-worded.
i dont know if i am doing this all right so excuse me if i am not. i have a problem with my sound. i have sound but it sounds like the chimpmunks. i cannot figure out how to fix it. can anyone help? i think i may have accedentally gotten rid of something that i needed. not sure. remember something about multimedia audio controller. if i did get rid of it i cant find it. i have windows washer installed and i think something may have gotten bleached. ty

click on the volume control icon and check the master volume tabs and see if any are checked and uncheck them
Check your speaker connections at the PC. try a headphone instead of the speakers and see if you get good sound.
You may have to uninstall and re-install your sound devices and drivers

The motherboard you listed does not show up anywere in Asus listings of motherboards. Check once again, you might have p4s533-vm model and for this you will find the driver here:
http://support.asus.com/download/download.aspx?SLanguage=en-us
to find the model number Asus says:
Rebooting your system
Hit the "Pause/Break" key when you see ASUS xxxx ACPI BIOS Revision"
For example：A7N8X-VM represents the motherboard model
