Device driver
Hey there byadava, when you reinstall an operating system, the memory gets totally wiped when it is reformatted. The result is that all the system drivers for your motherboard are also erased. You will need to get the drivers for sound, and other things as well. They can be found at the manufacturer's support site. They are free and you simply choose from a list of possible downloads they provide. If you need help with that step let me know, and please provide your model name and number. Good Luck!
