No sound since reinstalling Windows XP operating system

I have recently reinstalled the XP operating system on my Dell Dimension 3000.  I was able to get everything running except for sound.  Microsoft Fixit tools using diagnostic, I bought "there could be a problem with the audio device" as the feedback.  I looked for drivers, but I'm not sure that I might need correct drivers.  How do you suggest I proceed?  Is it possible that my soundcard somehow went wrong?  Should I consider a shop or is there something else I can try on my own? Thanks in advance.  Linda S.

Do it yourself,

It has been a decade since I used XP so my directions may be a bit rusty, but if you take your express serivce number of dell and go to support.dell.com, they both tell you what sound card to have, and I hope to have a driver for it.

If they don't there is always a way to find information, but you will need someone with more recent experience of xp that I have.

  • HP Pavilion 17-e119wm: reinstall Windows 10 operating system after replacing the hard drive

    Hello, I bought a laptop HP Pavilion year last for work or school. He perfectly managed until yesterday when it was freezing to close unexpectedly. Waited about half an hour to see if it would work himself, I had several programs running at the same time. With no results, I did a hard shut down and left for about two hours. Trying to turn it back on, I was stuck on the HP Home screen for almost an hour. I turned off the and tried again. Sometimes I would be stuck on the startup screen, and sometimes he would show that he was about to auto repair, then the screen turns off. In addition, the recovery menu of the system through the F11 key did not work, so I did a Quick Test of system and received a short Drive DST hard failure.

  • PNY attached 8 GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive recognized but does not work under the Windows 7 operating system

    I have an attached PNY 8 GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive that works perfectly on Windows XP. But when I try to use it on a Windows 7 operating system, it is very few recognized by Windows 7. I mean at least, is that when I look for the device by exploring 'Computer' in the menu start the device does not appear at ALL. However, when I go to control panel-> hardware and sound-> devices and printers, it shows a device called "DISK 2.0" which I believe are 'minimum' recognition of this 8GB flash drive, I was talking about. Can someone help me get the recognition for this camera on Windows 7? Thank you.

  • Computer that has crushed - I have to reinstall the same operating system to avoid losing files.

    Basically, everything I've read about the BSOD "Unmountable boot error" I have tells me that I have to reinstall XP. The question is can I install a different operating system and not lose all my files on the computer? Thank you

    Hello

    ·        What is the exact error message that you encounter in Blue Screen of Death (BSOD)?

    ·        You are able to boot into safe mode without any problem?

    ·        Remember to make changes to the system?

    ·        Do you have the XP CD with you?

    Method 1:

    If you have the XP disc and then start in the recovery and then console perform a disk check. I suggest you to check the below link.

    When you restart your computer or upgrade to Windows XP, you receive the error message "STOP 0x000000ED UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME".

    http://support.Microsoft.com/?kbid=297185

    Method 2:

    If this does not help, then you can install a parallel installation of Windows XP on the same drive and then copy the important files and folders that are present on the system to an external device (flash drive), then install a new copy of the Windows XP operating system. Follow the steps mentioned in the article given below to perform a parallel installation of Windows XP.

    Follow method 4 that is listed in the article given below to perform a parallel installation of Windows XP.

  • Re: Serial number down would work with the other Windows Vista operating system

    First of all sorry for my English.
    I have one question.

    My hard drive is broken with my recovery partition.
    If I download windows vista and install the system with my original serial number on the laptop, this will work or should I activate it after installation.

    I hope it's the same number that the front is installed on my first installation.

    Hello Marcin

    I doubt that the serial number that is placed at the bottom of the device works with another Windows Vista operating system. But it s worth a try
    You could test it I heard it's very rare cases it was possible

    In any case, if your HARD disk is damaged and it of not possible to create a recovery DVD using recovery software Toshiba disc creator, then you must contact the ASP in your country for assistance.

    If the warranty is valid the HARD drive should be replaced just for free. If you need only the recovery DVDs, then you can order it here:
