Hi Leslie,

XP Pro doesn't have its own software for the sound card in your Acer.
This software is available from Acer's website.
Click on the following link to download the sound card software for your PC.:http://global-download.acer.com/GDFiles/Driver/Audio/AUDIO_Realtek_5.10.0.5265_Xpx86.zip?acerid=633645769400615248&Step1=Desktop&Step2=Aspire&Step3=Aspire%20T180&OS=X02&LC=en&BC=Acer&SC=PA_6
Take note that this is a zip file which means you may need an application called winzip to open the sound card file. Winzip is available by clicking http://www.winzip.com/downwz.htm if you cant access your downloaded sound card software.

Once you have installed the sound card software you will have your sound card installed and should hear sounds from a set of multimedia speakers.
Don't hesitate to message me if you need any further assistance.
Best wishes,
Graemevm

I had the same problem when I "upgraded" a T180 from Vista to XP. You have to ensure that the drivers match the audio chip. There are two types - check out the audio chip with PCwizard.
Downloads are availabe from the Acer site.

How to Upgrade to max RAM
The Acer Aspire One can be upgraded to a total RAM of 2Gigs. This will allow for you to upgrade to Windows XP Pro and also to Microsoft Office 2003 as there is no version of Office Professional. If you would like more specifics on your particular model, please look here. http://www.laptopmag.com/review/laptops/acer-aspire-one-10-inch.aspx?page=3

Upgrading RAM is a fairly simple process. As this is a fairly compact laptop in design, you will have to upgrade to a new 2Gig RAM module and basically discard (or sell) the one you end up removing. In order to find out the type of RAM you'll need, remove the cover as show in the picture and the info for the existing RAM should be written on it.

Good luck!

No sound
This Happened After An Update That said You needed The Update And It was Incompatible With You hardware. Go To Device manager And Roll back The Audio Driver To The Driver before he Most Current. And manually Change it back To The Other Driver. Hopefully This will Solve Your Problem. That has Happened to me on Many Different Computers unning Vista, XP Pro And XP Pro 64. It Is Most Likey Conextent.

Acer Aspire T180 Missing Drivers
My problem was with the T180 was the VGA support under XP. Reinstalling the Chipset drivers fixed that - audio and ethernet still broken but I'm using a wireless adapter for networking and I have separate sound care for sound - but anyway the link is:

http://support.acer-euro.com/drivers/downloads_gd.html

I downloaded and installed chipset for XP 32 and it worked fine - presume the same is true for the Home Edition drivers.

I did try the pdf index suggested by a previous poster but I found all the links to XP drivers were broken.
