Help no sound at all. No answer on the net. Soundmax.

​ ​
​ I would like to know if you had any idea how to fix this problem. (Win XP PRO ​
​SP2) ​
​ ​
​mainly the problem is... ​​there​​ is ​​no​​ sound, what's causing the problem is ​
​that the sound drivers ​​are​​ quite possibly corrupt or missing. ​
​ ​
​After going into the Device Manager -> Sound Video & Game Controllers -> ​
​ ​​SoundMAX​​ Integrated Digital Audio -> Properties: ​
​ ​
​* Audio Devices -> ​​SoundMAX​​ Integrated Digital Audio ​
​* MIDI Devices and Instruments -> WDM-based Device ​
​* Mixer Devices -> ​​SoundMAX​​ Integrated Digital Audio ​
​ ​
​for all 3 of these the status is "Driver is enabled but has not been started". ​
​ ​
​also when trying to adjust the volume on the taskbar: ​
​ ​
​[ ​​There​​ ​​are​​ ​​no​​ ​​active​​ mixer devices ​​available​​. To install mixer devices, go ​
​to Control Panel, clcik Printers and Other Hardware, and then click Add ​
​Hardware. ​
​ ​
​This program will now close. ] ​
​ ​
​I have tried unistalling and reinstalling the ​​soundMAX​​ soundcard drivers ​
​already but ​​no​​ luck. As I've been searching the internet i've found that it ​
​is a common problem and ​​no​​ solution is posted. ​
​ ​
​I have also tried to enable it in services.msc but it's already enabled, and ​
​the settings ​​are​​ correct in the BIOS. If possible I would Like the names of ​
​the drivers as then I would just b able to replace them in the system32 ​
​folder and register them by going to add hardware. ​
​ ​
​ ​
​ ​
​ I also even tried to everything on the net. Were is the answers? ​

It's hard to answer a question if you don't know what you're working on.

What system type? GX100, 110, 115, 150, 240, 260, 270, 280, 520, 620?

The chipset drivers must be installed BEFORE the Soundmax drivers.

It may not be possible to fix if this is done AFTER the soundmax drivers.
