My polk audio desktop speakers aren't working after reinstalling windows xp on a new harddrive. Do I need to install a driver if so wich one

you cant download speakers but you can download speaker drivers
if your computer came with a motherboard disc the sound drivers could be on it
click start control panel administrive tools computer management device manager scroll to sound,video and game controllers you might see a yellow question mark? Right click to reinstall drivers if you dont have a motherboard disc you will have to download the drivers

check your sound card driver, maybe is not working, go the latest win7 driver (Hardware Driver)

Hi , make sure you have correctly , installed the drivers for the sound card or Motherboard you are connecting into your laptop...and make sure it is compatible with XP
Happy new year
Hope you come right bud :D

reinstall audio drivers

yes you need to go on polk web site and download the driver and you need to get a power cord

I doubt the speakers need a driver. Is there output from the soundcard? Connect the speakers to an alternate audio source, such as the headphone jack of a CD player or radio. If the
speakers produce sound, the problem is probably
with your soundcard. Recheck your soundcard
installation and setup procedure. Consult the sound
card’s manual. Check the “mute” and “volume” controls on your
soundcard or media player software and keyboard.
Are the speakers connected properly? Make sure the
plugs are securely connected in the proper location
according to their colorcoding and the diagram on th
front of this manual. Make sure the left speaker wire
with the white stripe is connected to the (+) speaker
terminal on the subwoofer.

it's not your hard drive it's sp3
they have been having problems with this.
go to microsoft.com and download it from there.
