You need to verify if these are "build-in audio port" that it is enabled under the bios area. Find what keys allow you to enter during boot-up to do this. Once there, verify that's is "enabled". When you active audio and hopefully you have the proper driver for that version of Realtek. Normally, that driver is part of the mtrbd. or provided CD for such when the system was sold. If you no access to such, then again be sure you are suppling the right driver, normally these are gotten from the system vendor or audio maker's support website. good luck

I am currently trying to install the Audio Codecs for a desktop. When I try to install the Realtek AC'97 driver software, a Window pops up saying that the software is not digitally signed and might not work with Windows XP. I continue with the installation. A few seconds later, the computer just reboots on it's own. After the computer has been fully booted, it says that Windows has recovered from a Serious error. I also get accompanying Window to pop up stating that there is a problem with ALCXWDM.SYS and Realtek doesn't have a solution to it at the current moment.
What I would like to know is if anyone else has encountered this before? Would anyone know where I could find a Realtek Audio Driver that is compatible with Windows XP? Even though the website says that the Audio Driver works with Windows XP, I suspect otherwise.
I have also tried downloading the High Definition Audio Driver from Realtek. It seemed to install ok and is listed in the Add/Remove Programs, but when I have gone to the Sound menu in the Control Panel, It still says that I have no audio device.
Any help on this matter is greatly appreciated.
