Hi, I recently reinstalled XP onto my laptop for a number of reasons and while fixing my previous problems; I now have no audio. I've got a bad feeling that the problem relates to something I'm SUPPOSED to install from a CD I got when i bought the laptop but any CDs I had when i bought it are long missing. I have searched for information on this and have seen a lot of people say it's to do with a missing driver but I'm not really sure what to do cause I'm not so good with computers. here are my laptop's specs: PROCESSOR Intel® Pentium® M Processor Dothan 1.6GHz(730) ~, 533MHz FSB, 2M L2 OPERATING SYSTEM Microsoft® Windows® XP Home Edition or XP Professional Chipset Intel Intel 915GM / 915PM + ICH6-M MEMORY 256MB / 512MB DDR II (533MHz, Dual Channel, Up to 2GB) DISPLAY LCD 15.4 GRAPHICS Intel GMA900(LW60 Only) / ATI M24(RADEON X700, 64MB/128MB) HDD 40GB ~ 100GB SATA/PATA ODD(12.7mm) DVD / DVD Combo / DVD Super-Multi(DVD-R/RW, +R/RW, RAM) COMMUNICATIONS WIRELESS Intel® Pro/Wireless 2200BG(802.11b/g), 2915ABG(802.11a/b/g) W-LAN ANTENNA Hexa-band Antenna MODEM 56Kbps MDC Modem(Azalia Interface) LAN 10/100 Ethernet INPUT DEVICE KEYBOARD Full Size 99 Kyes w/ Numeric Pad POINTING DEVICE Touchpad w/ Scroll Function BUTTONS Power / Volume Up / Volume Down / Mute / Instant DVD* / Instant Music* EXPANSION SLOT MEMORY CARD SLOT 5-in-1(XD/SD/MMC/MS/MS Pro) PC CARD SLOT ExpressCard/54, PCMCIA Card Type II MINI PCI SLOT Wireless Card Installed AUDIO Stereo Speakers(0.8W), Woofer(LW70 Only), High Definition Audio(Azalia, 24bit), Internal MIC I/O 4 USB(2.0), VGA, S-Video, PIO, IEEE1394, MIC-IN, RJ11, RJ45, IrDA Headphone Out, S/PDIF(sharing with Line-In), IR Receiver(w/ Remote Controller, PM Only) BATTERY STANDARD 6 Cells(Li-Ion) HIGH-CAPACITY 9 Cells(Li-Ion) AC ADAPTER 90W INDICATOR AC Adapter, Power/Suspend, Battery Charge, HDD Activity, Caps Lock, Num Lock, WLAN PR Support Yes (option) SECURITY Kensington Lock DIMENSIONS (W x D x H) 354 x 264 x 30.6mm WEIGHT 2.9Kgs I stole that off some site :) Anyways, any help would be appreciated as I really want my sound back. Thanks!

What mobo? http://downloadcenter.intel.com/con... Those are the drivers for the chipset.

Of course it's a missing driver. And it's probably not the only one either. If you have the GMA 900, try here: http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Pro... If you have the X700, try here: http://ati.amd.com/support/drivers/... You should have collected the drivers you needed BEFORE you formatted.

Oooops, sorry, I posted the video drivers. "High Definition Audio Azalia 24bit" should give you a clue, but you're gonna have to do some searching.... http://www.cmedia.com.tw/?q=en/driver

That is a laptop by LG and they have your drivers. Start here: http://uk.lge.com/index.do 1. Select Download Software from the options on the left 2. Select Notebook from the Product drop down list 3. Select LW65/LW75 from the series drop down list 4. Select Windows XP from the OS list 5. Click on search and you will see your driver there. 6. Download it. Sorry for not giving you a direct link to the page as it appears not to be possible to do so as they seem to expect you to go through this menu selection process. ___________________________________________ ☺ When everything else fails, read the instructions.
