Hello,
I have just recently installed Windows XP Pro again in order to wipe my hard drive because of a bad virus. Everything is working fine except for my sound. For some reason the computer doesn't detect, respond to, or work with my speakers some how. I think it might have something to do with drivers but I'm not sure. My speakers are "Multimedia Speaker System" just some run of the mill computer speakers. If anyone has any idea why this could be happening please help.

Thank you,
Kory

Hello,

When u install (or re-install) ur OS u have to install ur Audio card again.

U'll find the pilot for that on the MB CD if u have yet it.
Otherwise u have to download this pilot from the Web site of the PC maker. Or from the Web site of of the MB maker if the PC is a no-name one.

Hmm have you tried using an automatic driver update utility to update sound drivers? Go to http://www.pcdriverupdate and get the free scanner. It will show you all of the available driver updates for your sytem. It is fast and simple to use. I have used it various times and it definately saved me a lot of hassle. I hate searching for any kind of updates haha.

I hope it helps. Good luck with it!

I have had the same problem as many posting here (no audio ever since reinstalling my OS) so I gave the Driver Detective (link provided in previous post) a try. While the application is handy, frankly I found it a waste of money. I guess it's nice that it tells you which devices have no drivers or those that are out of date, but the downloads they provided for me were not even compatible with my computer or OS, so they were useless. Next, I went to the support site for my computer manufacturer (Dell, in my case), clicked on the "Drivers" link, and it walked me through the process of downloading the needed drivers to restore my audio (it has every major category of drivers broken down for you). It even helps you determine which drivers are specifically compatible to your model of computer. My audio works great now! I only wish I now had my 30 bucks back from Driver Detective.
