    Sound Card Problem, Maybe someone can help

    Alright I've been looking around for two days and found no help, everyone has the same problem, but they have different solutions that work. So finally I got annoyed and I'm asking myself how to do it, maybe someone can help.

    I was taking apart my moms and my own comp mixing them to give myself the better processor sence heres was AMD and .8 ghz better then mine but didn't work, So I switched them back.

    As I switched back, turned on hers everything runs fine, turned on mine..everything in driver manager you can think that is usefull had a ! point on it. I had been working all night long fixed Every single problem out of the 11 !'s that were there. Including my graphics card thinking it was damaged luckly wasen't.

    Point being, I uninstalled the remaining !'s drivers like it told me and try to reinstall using Plug and play, Well everything came back except my

    SoundMAX Integrated Digital Audio
    And
    Plug and Play Software Device Enumerator


    Were both missing, So now I don't have sound, and it Plug and Play I guess is also missing. Everything else auto detected, and Yes I did restart comp, Yes I tryed windows update, and YES I went to intel and audio sites downloaded the AC'97 drivers, and it said no sound card detected.. Now normally I use my motherboard, and now my comp doesn't even know it has a damn card. Please help out brothers and ladies

    Just to clarify:

    Do you have a PCI Sound Card or is the Audio onboard? If you have a PCI Sound Card what is the make and model?

    You say you have: SoundMAX Integrated Digital Audio

    The scan says you have: Intel(r) 82801BA/BAM AC'97 Audio Controller

    Your motherboard ASUS says you have: C-Media CMI8738/C3DX Audio Driver V2.88 for Windows XP Audio Driver V5.12.01.0639.

    As to the Plug and Play Software Device Enumerator what happens when you try to update this driver and or run the Troubleshooting Wizard? Any error messages?
