Hi, I've recently reinstall windows xp professional on my computer. In the process I wiped out everything on my hard drive and everything was new. The only problem was that I cannot hear any sounds on my computer. I looked in the control panel, Proformance and Maintenance, System, Hardware, Device Manager, and Clicked On the Sound, Video and Game controllers and Realtek AC'97 Audio was not on there or installed on there. How do I get that to intsall on there so i can hear my sound ? Is that the only thing that's holding the sound from not playing? What else do I need to install on there to make my computer play music again. CAN YOU PLEASAE HELP ME. Thanx.

Re-installing XP has a nasty habit of wiping audio drivers.

The best general solution is to re-load your computer's audio drivers.

The best place to find these drivers is the computer manufacturer's web site.

Look for Downloads/Drivers/Audio for your exact computer model.

If your computer was custom built then the motherboard manufacturer is the best source.

If you need help in searching for the download please let us know and supply the exact make and model of the computer or motherboard.

Thank you very very much....I'll try that ASAP.
