No Sound After Installing Windows XP

**Drewski** · 26-09-2008

I've installed windows xp professional on other computer i have
but there is no sound, there is no hardware conflicts or anything,

1.) i can see the volume icon in the system tray.
if i open the volume control i can see there is no problem at all.

2.) i also checked "Device Manager" for any posible fealure of the
sound driver but everything seem to be ok, no questions marks at all.

3.) i checked the volume in Control Panel, but once again everything
seem to be perfect, it even say: This device is working properly.

4.) And finally, i updated the sound drivers but still nothing. :-(

I checked my headphones, my speakers, everything.

I am aware of the SP2 or the SP3, but i think this have nothing to do with this.

Any suggestion or any help will be very appreciate.

Thanks in advance.

Have you got any disks with your computer?
If you have, look for one with the sound card drivers on, often called "drivers + utilities" or may be "recovery disk"

If not, what is the make + model of your pc?

Also you can download Everest which can tell you your computer specifications. Just google for it.

Open your control panel and click on System, the Hardware tab, the Device Manager button.

Open the Sound, Video, and Game Controllers section. If any devices there have a yellow question mark, delete them since it indicates they aren't installed correctly and can't be used.

If your sound card is there, delete it.

Close everything and reboot to let Windows redetect and hopefully reinstall the hardware.
