1260002 2012-02-19 21:33:00 I have just installed XP Pro SP3 on a computer and cannot get sound.

All the Google help I have looked at is inconclusive and I can't seem to get any worthwhile answer.

I know that sometime ago there has been plenty of discussion on this topic but no answers that I can find.

I have checked the BIOS; AZALIA is Auto and Fpanel is set to AC'97.

Does anyone here have a solution please?

1260003 2012-02-19 21:41:00 Is it a realtek audio chip ??
Some motherboards need this, depending on sound chipset
www.realtek.com

1260004 2012-02-19 21:42:00 Did you install the chipset / and sound drivers? XP doesnt have any (when you install XP)> Theyre here (www.asus.com.au). Select XP

When you install the chipset drivers, untick the Nvidia firewall. Before you install them. Audio is Realtek ALC662. I wouldnt bother with the realtek site. I could walk / run faster than that site. The last time I downloaded something, it was slower than a snail

1260005 2012-02-19 21:59:00 Thank you 1101. I downloaded and installed the HA Audio codex and all is very well!

I am wondering if I should also install the AC'97 codex too. Can you advise?

1260006 2012-02-19 22:03:00 Should have installed the ASUS drivers, it would have installed everything that you need Speedy Gonzales (78)
1260007 2012-02-19 22:19:00 Speedy, the Audio file confused me as it shows as XP 64 bit and I require 32 bit. Thanks for the input though. Bryan (147)
1260008 2012-02-19 22:24:00 Thank you 1101. I downloaded and installed the HA Audio codex and all is very well!

I am wondering if I should also install the AC'97 codex too. Can you advise?

If sound now works, just leave it as is.
Cheers

1260009 2012-02-19 22:25:00 Both use the same install file. As it says on the site

Realtek ALC662 Audio Driver V5.10.0.5377 for Windows 2000/xp/2003/xp64bit
