For a test.

Boot an Ubuntu Linux CD and see if sound works there. If not, get the board replaced or use another sound card.

PS!!!

This does not require any install or modification of the OS on the hard disk. It's a simple bootable CD that in most machines will play sound when booted. It's my secret weapon to sniff out if there is a failed network or sound card.

XP Mode relies on the host OS operating properly.
