I have a matsonic ms9317e+USB motherboard, and for the life of me I cannot get the sound to work. Windows XP is not installing any drivers automatically (no, before anyone can ask I don't have the drivers). I attempted to install a separate sound card from the one board one and all attempts to get drivers for it have been entirely unsuccessful. It's a Phillips sound card. The numbers I was able to pull off from it were, MO5-P20A-122 and A481-P20.
I am looking to see if anyone can give me a hand in finding the drivers (audio!) for either the on board sound or the card. It's quite frustrating to be sitting with a computer and no sound.

Using Everest and the Devices:PCI entry, you might find the PCI
sound card identified. If there is no "name string", then copy the
DeviceID and SubsystemID and post it in the newsgroup, as a last resort.
Maybe the Philips card can be identified that way.
The MS9317E is listed here. This is an archive of the defunct matsonic site.
This is the set of drivers available at the time. The archive machine does not
always capture the actual driver, so the fact that it is missing is not a
surprise.
Thank you so much. One of the links towards the bottom of your post contained the audio drivers for the onboard sound. I am finally able to HEAR my computer. Thank you!
There is some pretty useful information at the other links as well. I will need to take some time to dig into that. Thanks again!

Ok, so I got the sound to work, the next problem I need help tackling is despite my having sound Windows Device Manager still shows that my Multimedia Audio Controller doesn't have a driver installed. Then the Device Manager also states that my PCI Input Device, PCI Serial Port, and my VGA Controller are all without drivers. The auto detect option for the drivers has yielded no results.
Any other links I should check out?

This page has some graphics FAQ entries, that didn't clear
things up for me. The download link lists a couple options
for IGP driver, which is integrated graphics. Both UniVGA2
and UniVGA3 look like options. By naming convention, the
Matsonic download page was offering a copy of UniVGA2, so
you could try that one.
This is the SIS chipset download page. You'd want "IGP" for integrated
graphics, "AGP" for support for the video card slot, "Network Driver"
if the board uses SIS900 ethernet (built into the Southbridge). I
would not pick up the "IDE driver", because you are already using
the default Microsoft IDE driver instead.
I don't really know what the "PCI Input Device, PCI Serial Port"
would be. I tried to find a copy of the motherboard manual, without
success. Try working on those few drivers first, then see what is left.

Alright, so the wife was using the computer and picked up a virus. No way around it other than to reformat hard drive. Having done this a time or two I understand some of what goes on with this particular computer. The mobo for some reason doesn't allow all the needed drivers to be installed right away and it has to be a pain in my *** and make me do things the old fashion way.
So....I get things reformatted without any issue. I am up and running Windows XP to find out that I have no mouse. The PS2 port does not work for the mouse, so I'm forced to use a USB device. No problem there, I have one. Well the **** computer isn't recognizing the drivers for my USB ports front or back. Windows won't automatically update the drivers either.
SOoooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, to make matters all the more confusing on a whim I put in a different system restore disc, that operates outside of a Windows environment, and forces me to use a mouse. I wanted to see if it was a mouse issue or Windows. Well it's Windows all the way. The mouse works fine, the ports work fine. Windows is being a ***** and not cooperating.
Anyone have any idea how to help me with this? It's a Matsonic MS9317E motherboard.
I need help ASAP.

To fix the USB, I can find a reference here to something from SIS.
See "SiS USB Registry Patch (Windows XP)". But this patch is from
2001, and you'd think with WinXP Service Packs installed and the
like, that issues like this would vanish.
I don't know what's up with PS/2. All the Super I/O interfaces
should enumerate and pick up in Windows, without a fuss. It's
not something I see a lot of complaints about.
Don't forget to have a good look around in the BIOS settings.
Double check that everything you need is enabled.
