Since you've just reinstalled XP, have you installed the audio/soundcard drivers off the motherboard/system cd? XP wouldnt install the drivers by default. You also HAVE to install the motherboard drivers, after you reinstall XP. When u say XP was pre-installed, did it come with an XP cd? Or was XP on a hidden partition on the hard drive?

I bought it off an ebay supplier . . . i know . . . stupid me . Never even thought about the driver thing . . . . ive not re-installed the audio/soundcard drivers off the motherboard/system . . . . will this be the prob??? because the sound is fine . and what do i need t run to get the exact info on what my motherboard system actually is, so that i ca look for the drivers online .	fent (9751)

CPU Type: AMD Athlon XP, 2083 MHz (12.5 x 167) 2800+ Motherboard Name: ASRock K7S8X v3 (5 PCI, 1 AGP, 3 DDR DIMM, Audio,LAN) Do you know where i can download the drivers ill need for this system? As ive looked all over but cant seem to find them. I cant find the cd that cae with the PC (if it did at all)	fent (9751)
427443	2006-02-05 20:43:00	Look in device manager. See if there are any ?'s there. If there are any ?'s here, thats whats missing in the way of drivers, for whatever is installed. This (www.asrock.com) looks like the site for your system. This (www.asrock.com) is the drivers and BIOS page.	Speedy Gonzales (78)
427444	2006-02-05 20:48:00	theres a ? next to other devices/multimedia audio controller.im not sure exactly what that relates to, Should i just download and install all the drivers for my system?	fent (9751)
427445	2006-02-05 20:54:00	Then that is what the problem might be, right click on it and go update driver, it might find something on the net or you might have to insert the MOBO disc, what does it say after this? It is the sound drivers I think. HTH :thumbs:	The_End_Of_Reality (334)
427446	2006-02-05 20:54:00	Hmm the sound isnt working at the mo, is it? I would download the Cmedia Audio drivers from the site I posted previously for the soundcard. Unzip this file after u download it, and install it. That should fix the sound. Also click on each + in device manager. See if there are any more ?'s there. I would also get the LAN drivers from the same site. If your network card doesnt work. A ? should, or may appear under network adapters in device manager. I would also download and install the SiS AGP PCI-to-PCI Bridge Drivers (install this first, then the LAN, then the soundcard drivers). Nah, dont use update driver thru Device Manager. Download, unzip and install the drivers from the Asrock site.	Speedy Gonzales (78)

I play it thru my sterreo via usb connection. ive downloaded them all now...but havent a clue how to install them!	fent (9751)
427448	2006-02-05 21:02:00	You HAVE to UNZIP them first with something like Winzip (http://www . winzip . com) or a program that can unzip zip files . After you unzip the files, look for a setup . exe file . Hopefully ALL of those zip files have a setup . exe in them . Double click on this file, to install the drivers . You may have to reboot, after each driver has been installed . USB connection? So you have a USB soundcard or something as well?	Speedy Gonzales (78)
