Sound is not working

Try to visit the hp website and search for the correct drivers for your laptop. Search using your laptop brand

After reinstalling your xp, the next thing to do is install the drivers of your motherboard. the drivers include lan card and sound card drivers. The lan card needs to work so you can explore the internet.. while the sound card needs to work so there will be sounds on your speaker.

If you don't have the drivers,, I can help you get one just tell me the model of your motherboard. and or sound card and lan card..

Hope this help.
Much appreciated if you could rate this help. thanks

Re-Install the drivers from the system disk that came with your computer. If no disk, go to the website and download the drivers for your model computer.

Determine what sound card you have installed and download and install the driver for it. Go to device manager and click on "Sound, video and game controllers" to see what's installed. It will also tell you if the device is not working properly.

what i can tell you is to install the driver of sound and vga..if you dont have the driver cd you can visit the asus website and download the driver..

Hi foxy,

If the speakers do not work, check first that audio is not muted, you find audio settings on Control Panel>>Sound and Audio Devices if there is no audio device , that will need that you have to reinstall the drivers.

If your computer is a brand one (eg Dell optiplex 1080, or IBM Activa etc.) then place a request for drivers on the free forum, giving exact model of your computer.

If the computer is no famous brand, or assembled, you will have to note down all the numbers printed on the boards inside the computer.

That is quite complicate, for a regular user it is often faster to buy a new audio card, that start from $10.

A good solution can be buying an external USB audio adapter , that costs $12 : SIIG SoundWave 7.1 Audio Adapter

Enter your details on this website, download and install the driver

Make sure that your other drivers are in too.

Right click My Computer
Click Manage
Click Device Manager
Make a note of any devices that appear with a warning symbol and look them up on google. All drivers must be installed after a re-install of Windows for the computer to work correctly.

Tell your PC to scan for hardware changes, and see if it will "discover" your sound device.
If it does, great, if it doesn't, reinstall the sound drivers.

If none of that works, do a system restore to just before the update you installed.
And remember not to install that update again.
You may also want to check the MS Knowledge Base to see if they have any special notes on the last update you installed. Just do a search on the update that was installed (you'll find it in the add / remove programs list).

Please open the CPU door and check the model of the sound card and searching the sound drivers to internet.

i'm guessing u don't have the software for these drivers, for that you can log onto your motherboard and/or devices' site and download the driver software, or you can log onto http://www.download.com to download drivers' software if u can't find them on their site or can't find their site.
