Hi giddyup 123456.
Welcome to BleepingComputer.

This is a fairly common problem. Have a look here http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/t/174668/sound-not-working-after-a-reformat/

It is a matter of tracking down the correct driver for your multimedia, Realtek, Foxconn, C-Media or similar. A program such as EVEREST from www.oldversion.com will help you find it.

If you have trouble, post back with your make and model.

Let us know how you get on.

Cheers

(Checked up on your motherboard and you probably have Realtek AC-97, in which case you need WDM-R206.exe which is the 3rd one down in the WINDOWS box here
http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downlo...;GetDown=false)

Good luck

The VEN_ and DEV_ characters indicate an SiS audio product. Go to this page ( http://www.sis.com/download/ ) and look up the Windows XP...Audio Driver...SiS7012 device and download the driver on the next page.

There's no indication that this is a Hi-Def audio driver, but if it is you'll most likely have to install the KB888111 update prior to installing the driver. It's available here: http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechS...=reg_R1002_USEN

Hey first of thanks for the info

i downloaded everest and did a report but dont know exactly what information from this i need.

i downloaded the file you told me to. I opened it and followed the instructions and it restarted my computer but the multi media controller icon did not turn off from caution and no sound still

Then I'd suggest uninstalling it, then running the update from my second link, then reinstalling the driver from the first link.

to usama

when i unistalled then went to install the file from your second link it was unable because it the computer system is not supported ?

What does Everest list for your motherboard?

[[I downloaded everest and did a report but don't know exactly what information from this I need.]]

In Everest, go down to MULTIMEDIA/WindowsAudio. On my machine, mixer.0 and wave-out.0 both indicate that I have REALTEK. What does yours say?
