No, that's just what it says - an SMBus interface/controller. An nforce4 chipset sound looks like this: 00:04.0 Multimedia audio controller: nVidia Corporation CK804 AC'97 Audio Controller (rev a2) AC97 fake/compatible is very common. By process of elimination, the only unknown thing left is: > 00:18.3 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] K8 [Athlon64/Opteron] > Miscellaneous Control But I doubt it. There's no audio hardware there. If you're certain the mobo has any, check it's not by chance disabled in the bios. If still no luck, buy a sound card (and let us know the mobo details).
