I have a Clevo notebook D22ES and the sound is not working, where can I find out what the proper audio setting should be AND how do I know if I need a new soundcard? I WENT to a computer store and they told me I would have to buy and EXTERNAL sound card for a notebook, is this true or is there any way of fixing/replacing the one I have?
Thank you for any info you can give.... this SUCKS!!First CHECK if the correct drivers are installed for your sound card.have you tried the narrator option in winxp..and for a sound test type dxdiag in the run BOX..Your computer has sound.  There is no sound card; it's a notebook computer.

This is your computer:
