So hopefully this is my last issue with my ION. I replaced the the MB with the ASUS A7N8X and like others mentioned before there was no sound. With help from all of you I installed a fresh version of 2012 ION software thinking that would kick the sound on, but that wasn't the case. I know the MB was taken out of an old Compaq so I'm wondering is there anything I should do to the BIOS? It shows the IO board in the settings and boots just fine but no sound. The only thing I did notice when it boots up it still shows the audio set as Nforce, not sure if that matters or not.
