instructions not operational

The only thing I have left is:

1. Go to the Device Manager & Uninstall the drivers for each of these:

unimodem audio

audio codecx2

legacy audio drivesmedia control x2

2. Re-start the computer.

3. Install the Audio Drivers from Packard Bell:

4. Go to Control Panel | Sounds & Audio Devices & run all the tests to verify sound.

5. If there is still no sound repeat the above & try this driver:

(You may have to try several of the Mirrors as they don't all work all the time.
This is a .zip file. You need to let XP unzip it & then afterwards run the setup.exe)

6. If still no sound after checking the Control Panel again then either contact Packard Bell or consider installing a Sound Card.

Hope this helps.
