Now even u install Vista again u ll not find the drivers installed on it.
Because drivers are installed manually from their CDs. and now u also need the cds of drivers ur laptop using.
In case of some laptops and pcs devices windows XP is not able to install their drivers it need a driver cd.
So where u have buy the laptop ask them for its relevant cd.

Well, if it is a Compaq, then you should be able to go to the support website and see if they have XP drivers for the hardware. If they do, then GREAT!!! Download them and install them. If not, then you will have to go to the support website for the maker of the sound card and download the XP driver, if they have one.

Regards,

Jeff

Gateway had nothing, but sure enough, search for *XP DVD no sound* on Google and...

My husband has looked into the cause and found that the 'Sigmatel High Definition Audio CODEC' is the problem. When we 'troubleshoot'...

I know that an internal sound card has to be one listed as for a specific mother board. However, does this rule apply to external sound cards? I use a satellite A75-s2112 toshiba laptop, intel pent 4, windows xp, and forget where to find the motherboard info. I just remember that it only had Realtek AC'97 sound drivers that work with it, when I did that research. My Realtek AC '97sound card drive keeps malfunctioning such that I'd have no...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
