    I downgraded from Vista to XP and my onboard realtek sound doesn't show in Device Manager. The sound settings in Windows Sound Manager is greyed out too. I figured the only way to make windows recognize the onboard sound is to enable it in BIOS, but there's no way of doing it in the 5920 BIOS.

    Does anyone know any other way to enable the onboard Realtek sound?
