I am not getting sound after instaling xp sp2

If you already have SP2 then just install SP3. http://www.softwarepatch.com/windows/windows-xp-service-pack-3.html If you do not have SP2 installed then install it first. http://www.softwarepatch.com/windows/xpsp2.html

Hello,

trust me, the fault is from the win xp SP2. I am saying this with confidence and out of experience. Except if the audio drivers you downloaded is for win vista.

While running the Win xp, some files make have skipped/not installed which is making the sound not to work. Or maybe you have initially installed a wrong audio driver.

To solve this problem. you have to re-run the win xp, if possible, use another xp Cd, maybe not Sp2.

After installation, let the audio driver be the fist thing you install.

Take care.

I solved the problem by going into BIOS and resetting the audio controls. Thanks for support. It's reassuring to know there is such a service on the web.

Just restart the machine again.

1st u say what type of motherboard u use......
open ur xpsp2 then install sound driver
setup ....then cancel then wait ...restart

do you have the cd driver from your motherboard? it contains the audio driver for your pc. install it and it should be working. hope that helps!

Kindly get me the drivers as i have installed xp in my compaq system. and i want drivers for that

i think your laptop is recommended for windows xp sp2 ...
so if you install the sp2 then the sound may work ....
if you have motherboard cd then get it installed
tell me your laptop model otherwise exactly i will get you the links to drivers to download...........

what exact error do you get ?

Follow step 1, 4, and 5.
