I have recently had my computer WIPED and xp reinstated on the machine, but i dont seem to be able to get any sound. it says that no sound device is installed and i cant find any way of getting it to WORK. i think that the sound card is integrated in the system but i cant find it anywhere! would be very grateful for any HELP in locating it and getting it to work.If it is integrated then you'll need to contact the manufactuer for an updated driver. Like if it's Dell, visit Dell.com and check for drivers under your system's catagory.

Although if its from a major company like Dell you should already have a reinstallation disc that came with your set. Load the drivers from that, sometimes with XP home you need to ACTUALLY ACCESS the device through device manager find the unknown device (yellow ?) and install drivers through it with your disc in the drive or actually have it search the folder you saved it in.

Good luckRun Everest home and identify the motherboard make/model and you will also be able to identify the sound chip involved. Then we will go driver hunting.

If this is a pre-fab system (Dell,Compaq, etc.) post the make and model number of the system.

We can't go further until we get some info.i have tried downloading the driver that i think is relevant to the system. the hardware that is on the device manager is either C-Media aC97 Audio Device or SIS 7012 Audio Driver. The computer is a Legend201 from what i can make out from the documentsSee the response above. We are just guessing what the chip is, and you posted two that are definitely NOT the same. There is a correct answer, but you have to post some info for help.

Did you download and run Everest? What did you find?didnt download everest, can you tell me the exact infomation that you require and i'll try my best to find it
does acpi uniprocessor mean anything to you?Thats nothing to do with sound...

What OS do you have? Win2000?

What manufacture did the computer come from?

Can you offer a service tag on the computer or refrence the manufacturer for exact info of the sound device?
Multimedia and motherboard are what we are after. It is on the right side of the screen when the program starts.Quote
