Clark I (when an elderly and distinguished scientist says something is not possible then he is usually wrong) (and I have been so wrong in past proclamations eg All Mobos have at least one IDE port) but ... Your CPU has just about *nothing* to do with sound/no sound. As Martin said to change CPU you need to have changed motherboard and the new motherboard has no sound, or the sound is somehow tricky or even your disk is setup to use TheOldSoundcard and your new motherboard uses a NewSoundCard. Try booting with Knoppix or a liveCD to see if that works sound. (If you have a soundcard that card will surely work) Anybody want to walk him thru the modules bit?
