[Guest theo]

hi, i recently reinstalled windows xp home edition and now i have no sound.

Control panel, system, hardware, device manager shows the device cannot

start. I uninstalled it and reinstalled it, still does not work. Control

panel,sounds and devices shows there is no audio device. I have realtek AC97.

I also reinstalled windows from scratch twice but same problem. anyone know

how i can fix this.

Install the Realtek drivers from the website.

You probably need chipset and other drivers specific to your

motherboard in order to enable the soundcard and other hardware

features. You should be able to download them from the manufacturer.

What happens when you download and install the WinXP-specific audio

drivers, as provided by your sound card's or computer's manufacturer?
