No sound device found with c-media AC97

I am working on an xp xp3 system and I have no sound. In device mgr, it shows "this device cannot start-code 10" on the c-media ac97 audio device. I have uninstalled it and re-booted, downloaded the driver and it won't install in safe or regular mode. It is a pc that was built by a computer store in house. It has XP home prem sp3 running an amd processor @ 1.7 ghz. It has 512mb ram and an 80gb hd. I can't see a name on the MOBO,but the model # is SiS741, but the bios is Phoenix Award. I have eliminated any infections.
There are a lot of complaints on the forums from 2006 and 2007, but nothing current. Can anyone help? Thanks

Some times it happens like that, some times system does not supports sound driver, you do one thing consult with a hardware manager.
