Subject: No audio after windows xp installOS: Windows XPCPU/Ram: AMD |
Comment: I just installed windows xp on a new hard drive after my old one failed. Same computer--new hard drive. I discovered I now have no sound. I checked under the control panel/sounds and audio devices/volume and it says "no audio device". There is not even the Microsoft start up or shut down sound. The midi music playback default device is MPU-401. The computer is five years old, and five years ago was the last time we installed xp. I honestly can't recall if we had to install something for audio or not. I'm computer literate to the point that I can operate my specific graphic design programs very well. But as for the ins and outs of how the computer works, I need advice. Any would be appreciated. The speakers, by the way, are fine. The sound is not set to mute.

Reply: (edit)I found a Santa Cruz CD among my installations CDs from when we first got the computer. I installed the program and when I ran the sound check it said "unable to detect Santa Cruz. It failed all steps of the sound check. I guess I'll have to purchase a new sound card????

Reply: (edit)Yep--it's five years old--what can I say. BUTTTTTTTTTT--money is very tight and I have to gimp this one along until I can afford a new one. So, you think downloading that driver will cure the problem?
Oh--I forgot to say that I can still access my "bad" hard drive, with much difficulty, and when I start the computer using that drive, the sound is fully functional. What do you make of that?
