you will need to set up your sound card and drivers again
if your computer came with
a motherboard disk the sound drivers could be on it click start control panel
sounds and audio,volume,advanced,speakers select appropriate speakers or audio
you will find 3 drop down lists make the necessary adjustmentsthere or click start control
panel,administrive tools,computer management,device manager,sound video and
game controllers could be a yellow question mark? right click to re-install
drivers if
you dont have a motherboard disk you will need to download the sound drivers hope this helps
To download a compatible driver you need to know the model and make of your PC or motherboard. Since you have none, all I can say is download Driver Detective and install it.
Run it and let it scan your system. It will search for a compatible driver but won't download it unless you pay. Note the name of the sound device and search for a compatible driver. Or give me the name and I'll search it for you.
Following your clean install of Windows XP you will need to reinstall the sound driver for your PC. This driver is listed under the original driver's header in the following link.
If you are missing any other drivers you should also download them from this link. You can tell which drivers you are missing by right clicking on my computer - click on properties - then select device manager. Any system devices listed with a yellow exclamation mark (!) Are missing a fully functioning device driver.
reinstall the drivers for your sound card, you don't have to have the install cd just go to support.dell.com and choose your model pc, and dl the audio driver
Possibilities are that sound driver might have been corrupted during restore.
So try reinstalling the driver from the mother board's driver cd.
It should do the job for you.
Rarely the worse happens when the mother board's sound card is corrupted, even so you can add an adiitional sound card to mother board and can get back the sound..
But mostly it is the first situation you are facing,.. so reinstalling the sound card driver should do the job for you. It is only the software oriented problem
I can only assume that you have a Sound Blaster product since you have not stated which one. Here is a link to the drivers. http://www.soundblaster.com/language.asp?sDestUrl=/support/downloads If you use something else, let me know and I will find it for you.
