It used to work fine before a recent formatting but now for somewhat reason, it just won't detect it. It's built-in the MOBO so I tried installing the drivers that came with the mobo's CD but that didn't work. Looked up the newest realtek drivers on the internet (ALC882) and installed them, in vain. DirectX won't detect any sound device. When I go in my device manager, under sound video and game controllers, there is no audio device whatsoever: audio codecs, legacy audio drivers, legacy video capture devices, media control devices, video codecs. I'm really running out of ideas here, might anyone know what could be the problem?

Thanks a lot.

Oh and before anyone asks:

Anyone..?

You need to go back to the mobo CD and try installing the drivers again.
These will be the correct ones and are most likely to work.

When you say "you tried installing them, but that didn't work" .... can you elaborate a bit ... i.e. what exactly happens ? ... any error messages ?
