Here's the situation...
My pc has two operating systems (XP Home Edition and XP Professional).
In the XP Home edition, there are no problems. The audio device is working fine. However, with the XP Professional I get no sound. When checking the Sounds and Audio Device properties in the Professional, it indicates that no audio device is detected.
Can someone help me out here.
Thx!!
Is there possibly an entry called "Other Devices?"
What is the sound onboard or is it a PCI card?
You should be able to see in the XPHOME device manager exactly what the sound card is.
You have do download drivers from the PC maker.
I had this same problem, except I reinstalled my OS, and then had no audio device. Just get the latest drivers from the maker of your PC.
If you can find the device driver (unsupported device, unknown multimedia device etc.) you can use the driver out of the funtioning operating system. Just browse to the working partition and you may have to rotate between the following:Quote:
