HP Pavilion a610n - NO SOUND
Ok In July Of 2004 (2 Months Ago). I brought a brand new HP from circuit city. It runs perfectly from july to well a week ago. It ran slow as heck. (note that I did not have the windows xp home edition version that came with the one installed on my pc I dont know if the version I OWNED was the same one or older. Well anyway so I have my pc set up to where it reads the cd rom drive first so I can reformat windows xp using NTSF or whatever thats called. My computer WORKS PERFECTLY but for some reason the windows xp cd installation IS NOT READING MY SOUND CARD SO I HAVE NO SOUND AT ALL. :rolleyes:
I have no idea what is my sound card or wether its onboard audio or anything like that.. But I have been told that with MOST NEWER MOTHERBOARDS - any operating system with WINDOWS XP reformatting or reinstalling WONT READ YOUR COMPUTERS SOUND CARD and only way to fix it is to install it yourself or install a completely new OS like Windows 2000 etc. So can anyone point me as to how I can find out what sound card or w/e I have or WHERE I can download drivers ?
ANY HELP IS APPRECHIATED THANKS IN ADVANCED
Note : Before I reformated XP - SOUND WORKED PERFECTLY
WOO HOOO SOUND WORKS but one more question
WOO HOOO SOUND WORKS but one more question. In my device manager list there are 2 more things with the yellow exclimation marks in my Other Devices thing. and they are
PCI Simple Communications Center
Video Controller (VGA Combatible)
Universal Serial Bus (USB Controller)
What ones on that page would I need to install sound ? Also if I installed sp2 after a reformat will that help fix these issues ?
Universal Serial Bus (USB Controller) = chipset driver - IS NOT UPDATING USB DRIVER
Universal Serial Bus (USB Controller) = chipset driver
I tried installing the chipset driver for the USB controller but it just isnt working any ideas guys ? everything else worked great
