You need to install drivers for your sound card.\n\nIf you know what sound card you have you can go to the manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers from there. If you have on-board sound card refer to your motherboard manual/documentation.

If you dont have a sound card than try re-installing your motherboard drivers. All PCs have motherboards (or mobos we call them...) check/find out what mobo you are using (the brand - is it - ABIT, ASUS, MSI etc)  and what chipset its working on (is it Intel, Nvidia etc). Than go to the appropriate mobo manufacturer's website and download the latest drivers. This should usually work. Good luck.

check the device manager- look for any question marks or exclamation points. this is a good place to start to see what the problem is. if nothing in device manager try different set of speakers-it probably isn't the speakers but it is relatively easy to eliminate. if that does not work try updating the drivers in device manager or uninstalling the device all together and reboot the system. winxp pro should redetect the sound card and prompt you to reinstall the driver or it will do it automatically for you. hope this helps

if u mean it is working on 2000 but not on xp then you have the wrong driver installed on xp so just install the right driver. if u dont know which driver it is just go to 2000 and the device manager find the name of the audio controller and then search for xp driver.

Try going into Device Manager and uninstalling your sound driver. (Under Sound, Video, and Game Controllers).  Reboot your computer and let Windows find it and reinstall the driver.  Sometimes drivers get corrupted, so you uninstall, reboot, and it gets reinstalled properly.  If that doesn't work, also try rolling back the driver (if you have XP).  If you ran Windows Update, sometimes their drivers don't work properly.  I've seen this several times on AC '97 Vinyl Audio drivers from Windows Update.
