It was a PCI device (I forget what it was specifically) but lspci doesn't list it - not even an unknown device... nothing. I've been through the BIOS to see if it's somehow magically been disabled... but BIOS has nothing about it either. I'm gonna be chucking in a proper PCI card (I have a couple spare), but I just thought I'd throw this out there: any of you had devices just disappear before? Grant. :)Nope, I've had devices not being detected (USB sticks usually) but not just disappearing. Have you tried looking behind the sofa? :-)I don't want to even think about what might be behind our sofa!Seriously though, have you tried booting from a LiveCD to see if it's detected there?It's a dual-boot XP/Ubuntu 9.10 machine (no Ethernet in either) and booting from Ubuntu 10.04 DVD throws up the same issue... no Ethernet.Could be a motherboard fault maybe.So long as it's not indicative of more failures to come.One other thing you could possibly try is a BIOS update. Long shot but hey you never know.Robhi all,your going think im nuts but i had a similar problem (sort of),i was reloading a system with xp for a customer ,it was all running fine with one stick of ddr2 (2 gig) so i put another identical stick in. so i now got 4 gig and my sound device went missing from device manager,remove what transpires to be a dodgy ram stick ,lo and behold sound reappears.a bit of a long shot but test your ram. cheers alex the noob
