If the sound chipset is built into the motherboard, and not on a card in a mboard slot space....... If you have a brand name system, we need the model number of your brand name system. It's usually on a label on the outside the case somewhere. If you have a generic system, we need the model number of the motherboard. If you're not sure what it is, it's usually printed on the motherboard in larger characters between the slots, or in the center of the motherboard, or the model number may be displayed on the first black screen as you boot, or on a logo (mboard brand name specific graphical) screen as you boot.

i have a hp pavillion a1320n used to have windows media center got hacked and now i reformated and only got windows xp and now i have no sound what so ever ive tryed just about everything i could thing about and im pissed i went to hp site as well wont help all i see in audio drivers are legacy HELP ME PLEASE ME LOVE YOU LONG TIME!

dayze Whenever you load Windows from a regular Windows CD (or DVD) from scratch, after Setup is finished you must load the drivers for the mboard, particularly the main chipset drivers, in order for Windows to have the proper drivers for and information about your mboard hardware, including it's AGP or PCI-E, ACPI, and hard drive controller support. If you have a generic system and have the CD that came with the mboard, all the necessary drivers are on it. If you load drivers from the web, brand name system builders and mboard makers often DO NOT have the main chipset drivers listed in the downloads for your model - in that case you must go to the maker of the main chipset's web site, get the drivers, and load them. In this case the proper driver downloads are in the software downloads for your model on the HP site, unless you have added a separate sound card in a slot. Use the self executing download that auto runs the Setup for the sound drivers, or extract the contents of the download and run the Setup program in the resulting extracted files, whichever applies. If you download the drivers and apps for the sound and then merely point Windows to the sound drivers when you let Windows look for the unknown sound drivers automatically and it doesn't find them, the sound drivers and associated programs will probably not work properly. ....... If your model is not more than about 5 years old, you may have another alternative. HP may have the Rescue CD set for your model that you can buy, and with that you can restore the entire original contents of your hard drive, including it's XP MCE. If that is available, it's probably cheap. E.g. I got a set of 6? Rescue CDs (or a simliar name) for a friend's HP or Compaq computer for only 2x.xx before shipping. If the set is available it is often listed in the software downloads for your model, or it should be listed here when you use your proper exact model number, found on the label on the outside of your case somewhere: http://partsurfer.hp.com/cgi-bin/sp...
