I formatted the pc , while installing realtek drivers the setup did not detect any audio devices..

tried that too
but not working

Mostly due to audio chipset gone bad...

This error is mostly shown when no audio drivers are installed. I encountered almost same problem. I just tried uninstalling the audio drivers and updates related to it. Although initially it didn't worked out, but after some retries and restarts, I was able to do it. Its least chances there's any hardware problem. If nothing works, give a last try by reinstalling OS.

^^ He already tried reinstalling the OS.

@ Op - what OS you have installed ? Xp or Win 7. IF Xp try installing this

Microsoft UAA Bus Driver for High Definition Audio
More info about this ;-)

If this is not working just get a cheap sound card ;-)

^^ After installing MS UAA bus driver re/install your audio driver and your audio device should work fine.
