Hi guys! I've got a problem that I hope you can help me with. Its to do with the no sound device problem ..

I say this because, I was building a pc and we thought it was a problem with the board but recently I had put in a new hard-drive in a working pc - loaded the same Windows XP disc on and its the same outcome! I definately know the sound card /device works on that one as I've used it for 2-3 yrs previously... so I think the xp disc is not loading on the sound software for some reason.... do you know how I can rectify that?

Many thanks in advance

maybe because your xp cd does not have the sound driver in it. if the soundcard is part of the motherboard then run the motherboard driver cd to load the chipset & sound drivers.

What I did was, I didnt know what sound card I had so I went to the realtek site and downloaded the hd sound driver for xp and it worked, maybe I was just lucky.some older pcs use the realtek ac97 driver. I am aware that not every pc uses realtek sound cards but until now any pc ive come across do. Might be worth a try, anyway if its not right it wont install so no harm will come to your pc.

I don't have the motherboard CD as the pc was shop bought - its the Advent T9201... which motherboard and CD should I be trying to get hold of?

Thanks

Well sound wise it only is listed as another Realtek AC'97 audio chipset..

try the top one here.. or look further. http://sound-drivers.org/?squery=RealTek

btw.. if whoever it was earlier has only ever seen ac97 sound hardware they can't have seen more than 2 or 3 computers :lol:
