A few weeks ago my computer stopped recognizing my audio driver and i ATTEMPTED fixing the problem myself by installing some THINGS (i was looking for help on some other website) and i probably just MADE things worse..
i have an hp pavilion slimline,
Windows XP,
1.40 GHz,
504 MB Ram,
SP3,
if that helps

and also when i go into my device manager, whatever i installed/uninstalled for audio, all i have now is
-Realtek High Def Audio


my brother has the same computer, with perfectly WORKING sound and in his device manager i found
-audio codecs
-legacy audio drivers
-legacy video capture devices
-media control devices
-realtek high def audio
-video codecs


And my audio adapter is
-Intel 82801FB ICH6 - High Definition Audio Controller [B-1]

i don't know what to do to reinstall software/fix my problem
help WOULD be GREATLY appreciated!i don't really know how to do that

is there any way i can just reinstall the software my computer came with? i already went to the HP website and reinstalled the Realtek high def audio driver but that didn't helpP.S. I am curious to why you think posting the problem twice is going to get any different results.truenorth
