Have you checked to see if the front panel audio connector is connected? If it is not, have you made sure the left/right is jumpered?
Ie 1 2 3 e 4 5 6 7 8 9 Should be front panel connected, or 3/7 has to be jumpered along with 4/9. If not, it will install fine, but audio is redirected to an absent front panel connector.

This reads like a reason I gave up on all things O/C. JMHO. Yes, sound chips/function can die. Are you sure you have fully enabled the on-board sound? Do you run DirectX? If the m/b is a few years old, perhaps a visit to Asus for new/latest m/b utility files focused on the sound function may help...... I have found that the base (m/b's CD) drivers for one of my Asus boards do NOT play nice w/XP until I get newer files. Odd, but expected over the past 6 years.
