Fixed a friends computer about 2 weeks ago and he called me today saying the sound isn't working. It is like a celeron and older parts. He has a max 512 ddr ram installed and not even sure what else. When I updated his XP it was a pirate version and failed authentication with service pack 3. I installed a legit windows xp for him and thought I was all done after replacing the information I backed up for him. I had my friend go through to device manager and there were legacy drivers listed and some other things he said under sound, no yellow question marks by them. I had him run windows update and still no luck. He tried both the front and back ports of the computer and a different set of speakers.
Can anyone offer any suggestions? Maybe a free program to tell him what drivers he needs? Would the drivers be on my windows disc, I didn't think it had drivers on it. His computer is a cheap custom build he bought from someone.
