Try to right click on the device manager entry and select uninstall. Now reboot the computer and reinstall the drivers. Windows will probably ask you where you want to install the driver from. Just close any messages. There is the possibility that the audio controller is faulty on your computer and you can purchase a fairly decent sound card for around 30-40 USD. Broni is right in that windows does not like to be moved from 1 computer to another and I'm surprised that you aren't having any more problems than you are.
Hiya Broni...actually I'm not. Like townsbg I am surprised that their only have issues with the sound. I'm surprised that there weren't more Yellow Exclamation marks on more of the Devices like the NIC or Video. WinXP does come with a fair amount of Device Drivers, it just doesn't have the latest & greatest so depending on how old the PC in question is WinXP could have the drivers onboard (ie: c:\i386 folder).
uhmm can you tell me what kind of problems may occur on transfering hard disks ? sad to say sir none of them work the 4 new drivers i downloaded cant install due to some errors somelike your windows cannot supported like that. and another problem on the sounds and auudio devices all of there default device are Modem #0 Line Playback
Everest may be actually reading the info from the hard drive, which concerns old settings on the other computer, so I'd say reinstalling Windows from the scratch would be your best option.
what do you mean ? like reformatting ? i found these CD Microsoft Windows™xp Professional x64 Edittion Windows Professional and lastly Windows 95 companion and can i install it by myself ? im just 13 years of age :]]
Yes, all files will be gone, so you'd have to back them up, first. As for Windows clean install: XP Clean Install
so reinstalling windows is just like reformatting the CPU ? and im scared of doing this i dont have all the drivers for my computer :[ and i dunno the drivers needed of doing this and i also found the Windows XP Pro Service Pack 2
Reinstalling windows will reformat your hard drive which will erase all of your files so it is important to have all of your documents, pics, music, etc on another drive. If you can afford to you can buy a sound card but windows doesn't work too well in a computer other than what it was installed in so you will more than likely develop other problems later on. Those problems could even be much worse than not having sound and can keep you from even using your computer at all. The only options for you are to put the hard drive back in the other computer, and hope that it still works, or to reinstall windows. Also I'm assuming that by CPU you are referring to the computer. The actual CPU is a part in the computer.
but i dont have enough money to purchase i dont have work im just 13 yrs old ) are there any drivers needed of installing the windows ? i only have the OS's installers are the other drivers like the video card is plug-n-play ? and lastly i dont have the CD of my sound card
Don't worry. Windows come already with number of drivers, and the computer will be fully functional. If some drivers will be missing, you know, where to find us
ooh yeah ! thaanks a lot . can you tell me whats the best OS should i install ? win95 winXP service pack 2 (bootable) winXP pro x64 edition and it is safe to install it by myself ?

Put the CD in. Restart computer. At some point, you'll see the message: Press any key to boot from CD Press any key, and Windows XP CD will start to load. At this point, go to my link, and follow the instructions, starting at:
