hi lost all sound after up grade what can i do HELP ( 9hp site no help )

go to device manager , and check if you sound drivers are installed

Some Realtek sound chips have a problem with XP SP2 and latest updates.

There is a patch on MS website.

But, better check your device manager first. Like Steve suggests.

Hi,
If You Could Actually Check The Sound Chip On The Board And Then Try To Find The Drivers From The Manufacturer Site For Sound I Am Sure you will Solve Your Problem

hi steve thanks alot but one thing what do i download on this page . im a newby or lame at computers im afraid to do the wrong thing sorry may i ask for further directions

first thing I would do is go back to device manager , right click any device that isn't installed , then click "Update Driver " if that doesn't fix it , then download and install : http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/soft ... 28&lang=en

Drivers can sometimes be a pain in the ass.. it helps if you have the install disk .. also since this is an HP computer look to see if you have a hidden partition on your hard drive ( this is the re-install partition) if you can see it ( as D drive ) the drivers should also be there

steve thanks again listen under other devices in the device manager its showwing negative under the other deviceswhich consists of multi media audio controler ,multi media controller, and pci input device does that help you thanks alot.. jaime

steve its me again im pretty sure i ve done that down load yesterday and nothing yet,, thanks again i look foward to hearing from you

when i try to play a c d a message comes up sayng that there may not be a sound device ?does this info help any one steve?

ok Let's try this
Assuming that your upgrade to XP Pro is from a legit copy . make sure you have SP2 installed
also go to Windows Update and and get all updates available ..
After you have all the updates.
go to the device manager , and every device that has a "?" or "!" or is in Other devices , right click , and click "Uninstall"
If it says you need to reboot , click "no" until you have them All uninstalled .. Then Reboot the computer .. Make sure you are connected to the internet then windows will look for the drivers when you reboot. if it asks for where , be sure to check the windows update box ..
Hope this helps

cant believe how hard this has been for ive spent over 15 hour in 3 days triying to pin point this $%#@ out but yes theres a ? and a ! on ecery thing under other devices and it says that criver is no enabled what driver ? sound driver ??? where can i find the right one i remember there was a speaker icon on the right lower side of desk top that i would click and there came like a master mixing console! thet is now gone ever since the upgrade to xp pro thank you again steve any further help would greatly help

you just have to keep looking till you find the driver for each one that is in other devices .and yes it is probably the sound driver..

im sorry but were can i look? for sound drivers

Hi download sisoft sandra, install and run click on sound devices and it will tell you exactly what chip it uses for your audio. Do a search on driverguide or HP website and download & run the driver setup and you should be done. Just in case go into your bios (usually F1 or delete when booting and check that your onboard audio is still enabled just in case a setting was changed accidentally. This will prevent driver installation also.
