No sound after win98 reinstall

[scallosa]

I can't hear! After fdisk and re-sinstalling win98, my e-Machine Trigem Delhi 3 motherboard produces no sound.
The integrated audio subsystem is a Crystal CS4235 Audio Controller. What makes me look in this direction is that the Device Manager shows a ? next to Other Devices/PCI Bridge.
I'm not sure if I should be looking for an audio adapter driver or a PCI bridge.
I installed a driver for CS 4235, but it had no effect.
The PCI Bridge is some sort of controller between the Northbridge and the Southbridge, standing in between ISA and PCI, I believe, but I'm unsure of what this has to do with sound.

Much obliged.

Thank you for those links, but none seem to relate to the problem I am having.

Do you have motherboard drivers installed, most newer motherboards need them. If you do not have them on CD you may be able to get them from the manufacturer's web site.

Motherboard drivers for which device?

 

[Mulga]

Drivers for the motherboard itself, they control all the various system devices you will find in Device Manager, the busses, USB, AGP, etc. Windows will use its own drivers if you do not load any others but many newer motherboards require their own drivers to work properly. Normally a cd is supplied with the motherboard, this will also have the drivers for any onboard audio or video. If you do not have such a cd check on the manufacturer's web site and see what is available for download.
