    no sound

    I just recently installed a new hard drive on my computer and now the sound wont work at all. It is telling me there is no sound card installed, but it worked before... I have tried upgrading and reinstalling my audio device, but it says there are no drivers available. What should I do?

    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.

    alright, thank you! I'm pretty sure i've found the right drivers, but when i try to install them nothing happens... I've been informed it might be a problem with the BIOS or something. Any help with that?

    What is the make and model of the computer?

    What drivers did you try?

    On the way out for tonight but just wanted to add:

    The only BIOS issue would be if you are using a PCI Sound Card. Then the on-board audio in the BIOS may need to be disabled.

    But if your audio was working before the reinstall of XP there should be nothing but to find the proper driver.
