    Question need help getting my sound back

    I have a hp pavilion a1328x desktop computer using windows xp and i seem to have lost my recovery cd. Is there anyway to reinstall my sound drives without a recovery disc? whenever i open up media player it tells me "cannot play back audio stream: no audio hardware is available, or the hardware is not responding." the windows media player error code is Error ID = 0x80040256, Remedy ID = 0x00000000

    Why do HP do that? They don't post the audio driver - I suppose because this one will get updated by Windows update....and therein can lie the problem.

    Try going into device manager and rolling back the driver.
    If not right click and save target as here for the Realtek drivers for your ALC883 audio
    Never, ever approach a computer saying or even thinking "I will just do this quickly."

    OMG that is the wrong file, the realtek needed is ALC 883 not the 861 you posted.
