    Unhappy need multimedia audio driver

    after reloading windows-xp i no longer have any sound. Cannot find a driver that works with my computer. My pc is: hp pavilion a250n, 2.60 GHz, 512MB, 120GB hard drive, nvidia Geforce 4 MX 440, DVD+RW/CD-RW, w/Intel pentium 4.
    It says a sound is not installed but how can that be when I had sound before I reloaded Windows XP. Anyway, I need a sound driver. Please help.

    First off, Welcome to Windrivers Edgar.
    Second, check the following and make sure everything is kosher:

    Third: go into devce manager and check to see if the sound drivers are listed or not:
    Get to Contol Panel then check System...then Hardware, device manager.
    Tell us what you see.
    Then let us know.

    According to HPs site that particular computer comes with an onboard s/c - "Integrated AC'97 with 6-channel configurable audio " ... these are well known for going wrong driverwise, but xp should know what that is !

    Try & describe all the devices in sound,video and game controllers subsection of device manager & any asociated error messages or 'peculiarities' which might be there.

    What was wrong with the restore disk (which has all this stuff) anyway ?
