Finaly someone live. I'm having problems with my sound.
I receiced this computer about a month ago (IBM net vista). Windows xp was already installed. I had it for a couple of days and got a bunch of trojans and such. Anyways...I tried to fix the solution and ended up accidentaly removing parts of windows program.Oops..(The sound was working fine before I reinstalled the new windows xp home edition service 3 pack). So I reinstalled windows and at a certain point of the reinstall windows asked me if I wanted to partition it. STUPID me I agreed thinking I was saving my pictures and music from previous windows. So I think thats my problem it tells me I have no sound device ordriver is not found on belarc advisor this is what it says advisor version 7.2x IBM 679211U SYSTEM SERIAL NUMBER 78ZBR39 1.60 GIGAAHERTZ PENTIUM 4 LOCAL DRIVE VOLUMES C; (NTFS

You need to find your exact model and get its' drivers:

Lenovo Support & downloads - Software and device drivers - NetVista

I was at that site today. Didnt help but ill give it another shot brb k

Well went to the site you refered it was great it enhanced a few things. I rebooted and tried to play music the message saying [ windows media player cannot play file because there is a problem with your sound devic. There might not be a sound device installed on your computer, it might be in use by another program, or it might not be functioning properly. All i get is the beep from the computer itself not windows when it shuts down or starts theres no sound......... I cant sleep till i fix this darn thing

What is the exact model # of the NetVista?

Also above you might have inferred that you have a NVIDIA PCI sound card. Do you know if you have an add on sound card or are you using the IBM/Lenovo device?

YUP ITS A IBM NETVISTA 6792 AND MY SOUND DEVICE IS NVIDIA VANTA/VANTA LT THE COMPUTER AKNOWLEDGES THE SOUND DEVICE. MIGHT THE PROGRAM BE RUNNING SOMEWHERE ELSE? i cant adjust any volume controls everything is gery so i cant move anything. i dont know much bout computers but could the program be in a different drive? i dunno....ill be waiting 4 a reply if not please let me know so i dont wait for u thanx . i really really really appreciate this you dunno how much.

P.S.....HOW WOULD I KNOW IF ITS AN ADD ON OR LENOVO? IS THERE A CERTAIN WAY TO FIND OUT (easy i hope) LOL

Im just quikly replying oops....

Onboard Motherboard Sound driver from Lenovo

Lenovo Support & downloads - Drivers and software - NetVista 2273, 2292, 6043, 6343, 6349, 6350, 6790, 6791, 6792, 6793, 6794, 6795, 6822, 6823, 6825

Not sure but I think NVIDIA VANTA/VANTA LT is a graphics card, aint it jephree.

According to Lenovo/IBM

Lenovo Support & downloads - Drivers and software - NetVista 2273, 2292, 6043, 6343, 6349, 6350, 6790, 6791, 6792, 6793, 6794, 6795, 6822, 6823, 6825

One of these would be your audio driver if you are using onboard audio:

Lenovo Support & downloads - ADI SoundMAX audio driver (signed) for Windows 98SE, Me, 2000, and XP - D64Z26US - NetVista

Lenovo Support & downloads - ADI SoundMAX audio driver (signed) with SPX software for Windows 98SE, Me, 2000, and XP - DSIZ23US - NetVista

If you have an add on card your audio plugs would be in a horizontal configuration near the lower section of your case rear.

If you have the onboard Lenovo/IBM the audio plugs would be in a more vertical configuration nearer the top edge of the case rear below the power supply.

By the way that NVIDIA ID is for your graphics device and has nothing to do with audio/sound.
