i just bought a new computer and when i load windows up it sez thet ther is no sound card , it detects every thing else

is anything here relavent?

Multimedia Programs May Not Work After You Install Windows XP SP1

no i tryed reinstalling windows

what windows are you installing? & which service pack?

after install did you try windows update for drivers?

or try your manufacturer for drivers?

xp , none , yes and yes

where/ what is telling you there is no sound card?

have you checked Control Panel > Sound & Audio Devices?

or rt. click My Computer then click Manage then Device Manager then Sound, Video, Game Controllers?

the thing in the control panal is what is telling me there is nothing and there are a fue things in device manager

so in the control panel > sound > hardware: there is nothing?

What exactly is listed in the device manager under sound/ audio?

in the control panal there are 10 things under hardwar but there is only one detectible sound card ( the crapy external one im using)

what else is there? what is in device manager? details.

this program will further id stuff plus id your motherboard that we could check:
