I tried loading the live DVD many times trying to access many sound settings, web pages, and videos without luck.

This one still has me scratching my head. What media did you use to install Solaris?

For what it's worth I've just installed Solaris on a HP ProLiant with a SoundBlaster add-in card (CA106 chipset) and the sound just worked. I'm using Solaris x86 11.3 Live DVD. I can boot the DVD and launch Firefox from the Live desktop and play YouTube clips with sound. I can do the same with Solaris x86 11.1 Live DVD.

I then installed Solaris on my hard drive by clicking on the "Solaris Install" desktop icon and after installation, booting from the HD, sound works just fine.

I know that saying this isn't much help to you but it should be that easy; famous last words.

What happens when you boot from Live media?
