No sound device after reinstalling windows xp

Same error message and, indeed, the hardware was missing! If machine starts showing the Windows starting screen you're too late. Just look for something about onboard audio.

LookinAround I am facing the same problem.. Hi Preethi Could you pls tell me the make and model of your computer? Also which version of Windows are you running? It's usually best to start with the drivers found on computer maker's web site. You must log in or register to reply here. Similar threads. Replies 6 Views Nov 19, captaincranky. Screen goes black.

You need to download and install a driver for your sound card. This will bring up a list of all hardware in your pc. Go to "sound video and game controllers" and see if any of the things in the list has a yellow question mark next to it Or sounds like a brand of soundcard.

If it does or you know which one it is you can right click on it.. If the auto update does not work, take a note of the name of your soundcard and google for drivers.. Eg: "soundmax intergrated audio drivers" Hope this helps! When you go to the Dell site and select support, you can type in your service tag number of your Inspiron That will enable you to go to the left hand column to examine the record of your configuration on the day it was built. There are only three downloads for audio for the Inspiron and only two of them are drivers: Creative Labs and Sigmatel If you install one and it turns out to be the incorrect one, you can install the other.

One of the two will get you up and running again. You can usually see red or yellow flags on the left hand side if the sound device driver is not installed, or installed improperly.
