I recently reinstalled windows xp, and afterwards, I have not been able to get any sound out of my speakers. When I try to play anything, such as on Media player, I get a message saying I can't play sounds, and that "there is no sound card" (Error ID = 0x80040256, Remedy ID = 0x00000000). I've tried to check for new hardware, but for some reason I can't find the sound card on there anywhere. I am also not sure of what kind of sound card I have, and was hoping that I wouldn't have to crack open the casing and look, because it's always a pain. Anything I can do to fix this situation? Thanks in advance for your help.
