list your computer specs when asking hardware questions
some motherboards have an entire audio module that needs to plug into the motherboard (e.g. DFI NF4 Lanparty series)
some motherboard have a separate PCIe soundcard (e.g. Asus ROG)
some motherboards you need to install the audio drivers separately from the chipset drivers
onboard audio is normally defaulted On (or Auto On) in BIOS
its a asus a8n32-sli socket 939 board.
its just onboard sound its not pci or pcie
and where would i find the audio drivers?
