That's odd, XP should have installed that, very basic sound
drivers.......Did you have it search for the driver? Right click it in
the device manager and click re-install driver.........Providing of
course there is a yellow exclamation next to it. If it's installed than
maybe it's muted.

You have to install the driver from your motherboard CD.Then visit the
manufacturer's website and download,install the latest update.

You will need to install the drivers for your sound. Get the drivers
from:

1. the OEM's website for your specific machine if you have an OEM
computer like Dell, HP, Sony, etc.; or
2. the motherboard mftr.'s website for your specific motherboard; or
3. if you received a driver cd with the computer, use that.

To determine what hardware you have in the machine:

1. look at any manual that came with your computer; or
2. go to the OEM's website for your specific computer if you have an OEM
machine; or
3. install the free Everest Home Edition software which will inventory
your hardware:
