It appears that the cmi8330 is very old and a WinXP driver may not be available. Wait for other responses, but it looks like you might have to purchase a sound card that will work with XP.

I found something in my answer posts....
"Note that for Win XP, you may need to use the CMI8738 drivers for the CMI8330 chip"
Try that.

yes Im very sure that the driver name is cmi8330, because previously the pc had Win98 and that time i had no problem with sound. After installing WinXP, soud problem raised.
anyway now the PC is having a PCI sond card, and its working fine. So i disabled the onboard sound.
but if you have any other solution please tell me.
