No Sound after re-installation of Windows

Paul.A · 12-16-2006, 10:49 PM

Please excuse me, complete novice here!

I had to re-install Windows XP because I had so many viruses so I thought it'd be better to totally re-write Windows XP. NOPE! Lost all sound on the computer and I have no idea how to get it back!

I've looked at Device Manager and there's the yellow exclamation point next to the Audio Driver so that isn't working but if I click on it it doesn't recognise that there is a device on my computer. So i'm guessing I'm gonna have to get a new Sound Driver on the internet, no?

looks like your sound card is intergrated and is - Sigmatel STAC9750T

Driver Here

though the driver should come on a CD with the computer, that is a link to somewhere where you can download the driver

Thanks!

However, I tried to install this driver (remember complete novice her) and it didn't work! I right clicked in Device Manager on Audio Drivers and tried to install the driver you suggested, but it didn't work. I also clicked on Setup in the downloaded folder and that didn't work.

SOS?
