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.

I assume checked your sound levels on your speakers and in the Control Panel.  Try rebooting your computer.  That usually solves the problem.  \n\nIf that doesn’t work, go to START –\nRIGHT-CLICK on MY COMPUTER\nSelect PROPERTIES\nClick HARDWARE tab\nThen DEVICE MANAGER button\nFrom the list, expand SOUND, VIDEO & GAME CONTROLLERS\nSee if you can find your soundcard device in the list.  If there is a problem with driver you’ll see an indication.  You can remove the device from the list and try rebooting the computer.  During the reboot, XP should recognize the “new hardware” and install the proper driver for it.  \n\nIf that doesn't work, it's somewhat likely that your soundcard is toast.

I would recommend moving the sound card to a different PCI slot, move it at least 1 away from another PCI component that is installed. Another thing is that it could be the driver, loading the new card is one thing but have you gone to the creative website to download the latest drivers. One thing I like to do is I like to max out all my sound on the PC then I use the speaker volume to control the volume of the system.

To locate the old sound card: \n\nTurn the PC around and note where the speakers plug in. When you open the case, you can locate the sound card by lining it up with the jacks where you see the speakers plug into the back of the computer (those jacks are part of the sound card).\n\nI suppose you want to install a new one?\nCheck this link!\n\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/games/learnmore/installsoundcard.mspx

Do you mean you have reformatted your drive, and reinstalled windows and now theres no sound?  Have you checked the Device manager to see if theres any errors in the sound/multimedia section?

Years ago, when my brothers-in-law screwed up my sound on my W98 machine, I just un-installed and re-installed my sound card drivers.\n\nI do not remember conclusively whether or not you need to have the driver disk for the card.  If you don't have it, try to find the driver on the internet for your specific card first and save it to your computer.\n\nRight click on my computer, go to properties and choose the Device Manager tab.  Find your sound card, right click on it and choose remove.  Restart your computer.  Windows will find your sound card and attempt to reinstall it.  This is where it may help to have the disk for it.\n\nHope that helps!

If you have the recovery CD then you just need to re-install the sound driver. If you dont have it then go to http://www.soundcard-drivers.com/ and look for your sound card and install the driver.

Make sure that your sound card hardware in your computer is installed correctly. If necessary, re-install the driver for your sound card. If you don't have the driver for your sound card, contact your computer manufacture.

If you had sound before you probably just lost the driver for it. You don't need a card. If you bought the PC new look in the owners manual to see what make sound device you have and reinstall the driver. With XP it's on your Hard Drive already, just pick it from the list. If it's an on-board sound chip you may have to go into the setup utility (in your bios) and turn on Sound Blaster Legacy support. If all else fails see if the speakers are plugged in.

Your sound card could be shot. Click on Start, then go to My Computer, and RIGHT click, choose Properties. A box will appear, choose the Hardware Tab, then Device Manager. This will show all the hardware in your computer. If there is a problem with the sound card, the icon will have a exclamation point (!) in a yellow triangle. If your sound device does or doesn't right click on it, and choose Update Drivers, hopefully it will find one if it's a driver problem. Say your having no luck, download this free program called Advanced Windows Care, hopefully that will fix it if it's a software thing. Lastly unplug your speakers and plug a headset in where the speakers are to see if can hear anything, to make sure the speakers aren't toast. Best of luck

Do the following( if you have a good grasp of computer things!\nGo to control panel. Then system. click on device manager look for your sound card and uninstall it.\nReboot your computer and it will install the sound card again, by telling you"found new hardware-follow the prompts and let the system select the drivers and this should work.\n\nBefore doing all this go to control panel and click on sounds/audio devices and check the speaker setting!
