No Audio device available after reinstalling win xp ... Under device manager I have yellow question marks under ( PCI Devic & other devices ). I tried to update PCI device, got the hardware was not installed cause the wizard can't find the necessary software. The computer didn't come with a CD. Any help.

Thanks in advance for your reply.

didn't work out yet. No sound yet.


Whenever I start up the computer I get a message from DriverCure saying: There appear to be an error with your installation. Please reinstall the application!!! Which application is that?

Try:

Realtek

One of these should do it based on the info you posted.

Dan, I didn't understand what to do since I found lot of channels ... Which one I have to choose and what to download?

Thanks

Choose High Def first. Then.......

If you only have internal speakers, choose 2 Channel.

If you have external speakers, choose 2 channel.

If you have external speakers with a Sub-Woofer, choose that.

If you have quad or surround sound system, choose accordingly.

If High Def doesn't work, choose AC'97 etc.

Didn't work ...

What is the make and model number of your computer? You should be able to get all needed drivers from the manufacturers support web site.
