Just open it up and look at the card, I would bet it is integrated sound all the same, and if it is would probably be either 8331 or NVIDIA.  There is also a nifty tool called DriverGuide Toolkit, and it is free available here.\n\nhttp://www.driverguidetoolkit.com/

1. make sure your mic is working, try it with a stereo\n2. mic is plug in the right socket\n3. the recording volume of the respective socket (line-in or mic) is not mute or put to zero\n4. the speakers are working in playback\n5. your sound card driver is working properly, it show no warning in device manager(hardware tab in xp) under properity of my computer.

Go to control panel\n\nclick the sound icon\n\nthere should be a "sound scheme" pull down\n\nselect No Sound instead of windows default.\n\nYour sound will still work but the system sounds will be off :)\n\n\n=================

Make sure you are logged in as an administrator.\nThen go to Driverguide.com, you will need to register, but if you cant find your driver on there.. you wont find it anywhere.\n\nIf you have already downloaded the files (extracted all zip files).. Go into settings control panel, system, hardware, devicemanager.. then right click on the offending sound device.. and click update driver.. if it doesnt do it automatically, point it manually (brows for location) and see if it installs the drivers for you. Do you know what kind of mother board you have.. post it on here and someone might be able to give you an exact link to the drivers you need- since it seems your sound card is built in on the mother board.

Did you try the "System Restore" feature? This may solve your problem by returning your PC's settings to an earlier date. Did you delete the sound card driver or the sound card itself? Right click on "My Computer" select "properties" then "hardware" then "device manager". Look for your sound card in there to see if it is listed. If so, try to roll back the driver. If not, try the new hardware wizard.

Is your sound board OK? Can you hear other sounds like the Windows startup sound? If not, you need special drivers to make your sound board work

yes bestnuy geek squad might be able to fix it, but again on 2nd thoughts but that is my 1st thought that staff at best buy is highly untrained, unhelpful unprofessional\n\nso do it yourself\n\nwith windows XP\n\nclick on START\n         CONTROL PANEL\n         SOUND SPEECH and AUDIO DEVICES\n         SOUND AND AUDIO DEVICES\n         click on HARDWARE TAB\n                   look for your audio controller\n                   click on PROPERTIES\n                   click on DRIVER TAB\n                   and then UPDATE DRIVER\n                   it might ask you for the driver location,\n                   prolly that would be the CD that came\n                   with your computer or your sound card\n                   and follow instructions

If you have xp you should be able to plug and play.  Go to your control panel and click on sound and audio devices. Go to speaker settings advanced and make sure you have everything set up correctly.  If not set it up on the right devices and restart computer.  If this doesnt work you might want to make sure you have actual hardware on your computer like a sbwave sound device.  Youcan check this by going into sound devices and clicking on the hardware tab.

Download the ZIP and copy the files to your WINDOWSMedia folder (you can overwrite or backup your XP sounds beforehand). A few of the sounds are still the old XP ones because Vista doesn't use them.\n\nhttp://www.megaupload.com/?d=5JYJJYVK\n\nSomebody should mirror these just in case...\n\nAnd I found a direct download link to a zip with all the sounds ripped from that quicktime video:\nhttp://www.retrothinking.com/media/VistaSounds_R.zip\nthis is the site and article that hosts them:\nhttp://www.retrothinking.com/?page=previews&n=9\nEnjoy.
