Determine the manufacturer of your sound board (from Windows Device Manager, or your machine's manuals), and download the drivers directly from them.

If you have an OEM recovery partition, all your drivers should be there on that partition.

Pay attention to the volume control settings (Right click on the speaker icon in the try, then select Adjust audio properties, or open Control Panel, then double click on Sound and Audio Devices), then make the necessary adjustments.

Microsoft Help and Support says that "Code 28 (The drivers for this device are not installed)" appears when the Windows Sound System Compatible Driver for the Windows 2000 operating system is deleted upon the upgrade to Windows XP. It's possible to repair this code.

Click on "Start." On the "Start" menu, click on "Control Panel." In the "Control Panel" folder, click on "Performance and Maintenance." Click on the "System" folder in the "Performance and Maintenance" folder. Click on the tab titled "Hardware." Click on the box that says "Device Manager." Click on "Sound, Video, and Game Controllers." Right-click on the device that prompts Windows XP to display Code 28 (it should be Windows Sound System Compatible Driver, also called the WDM driver). A drop-down menu will appear. Click on "Update" and an Update Wizard will guide you through the installation of a new device driver, which should stop Code 28 from appearing on Windows XP.
