Re: Sound

If it works, then don't question it.
That is one way of updating a driver, if the file exists on your system.

You may want to look at device manageer again, and make sure the yellow
icons are cleaned up...

Thanks Tom Felts, I have sound, I do not know exactly what I did to
achieve
it but I wrote it down. It seems that after I installed SP2 update I right
clicked on my computer went to manage right clicked on C-media audio
device
and upgraded driver and it started to work. Thanks, I do not know if this
was
the correct way to accomplish sucess and that is why I would appreciate
your
opionion. Have a wonderful day.

Go to http://www.intel.com/support/chipsets/sb/cs-009245.htm

Following the instructions on that page, determine the intel chipset
version
your computer has.
Then, with that information , go here:
http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/download_center.php

Pulldown 1 will be server\workstation
2 will be server\workstation mainboard
3. Will be the chipset version you found
4. Will be further options

Or you can download the chipset drivers from the intel site. Post back
what
the version is...

If it was working before, then you should not need to buy one. Can
you
post
the belarc output? At least the System Model, Main circiut board,
and
Multimedia section outputs?

If you right-click on My Computer, and choose "Manage", and then
click on
the Device Manager node, are there any devices showing a yellow
exclamation
point?

Thanks I found out that there is no multimedia on my computer I
guess
that
is
no sound card, I believe with my poor knowledge that I have to
buy
one,
but
I had sound working until I reinstalled the XP windows. Can I
install
the
card myself ?
Thank you for your info, I went to the Belarc advisor website and
downloaded
and now I know all the information regarding my computer. Once
more
thanks.

someone direct me how to establish on getting one. I am new at
this computer fixing thing but I learn quick.
Thanks to everyone who will help in advance.

Go to the manufacturer's web page for the sound device, download
their
latest driver, install it.

You must know what sound card you have. Look on your
receipt/invoice
for
the computer - ask the people you bought the system from, open it
up
and
look, etc.

There are applications out there that can identify what hardware
you
have,
but I think they all depend on a properly installed system - as I
think
they
pull the information from the registry. Perhaps they do not - so
I
will
recommend you try one..

Once you know what you have, what next? Go get the latest driver
for
your
hardware/OS from the manufacturer's web page. For example, let's
say
you
have an NVidia chipset video card or ATI video card, perhaps a
Creative
Labs sound card or C-Media chipset sound card...
