Sound problem in XP Professional
I can't get sound from my XP Pro desktop. Control Panel = Sound Audio
Devices = Volume tab, it says no audio device. I do get warning beeps, when I'm closing a program, and it wants to see if I want to save it first. No other sound though. |

You could try a System Restore, or you could try some of the suggestions he http://www.annoyances.org/exec/forum/winxp/t1018722575 which came from googling "XP no audio device". HTH -pk |

Sound problem in XP Professional
You do not say whether it is a name Brand, Dell, etc; or a built computer.
You have 2 choices:: Go to your Computer Manufacturer's or Motherboard's website, and download the Audio driver for you Model computer, or Make/number of Motherboard and do the same there... -- Mick Murphy "Bruce" wrote: I can't get sound from my XP Pro desktop.

Has it ever worked or never worked? Beeps are somewhat different than sounds. Beeps come from your speaker for things like when you turn on your computer and the BIOS starts, or some other problems can cause a beep(s). Right click My Computer, Properties, Hardware, Device Manager. There should be a Sounds section you can expand by clicking the + box. Do you see any question marks or Xs there or anywhere in Device manager? If yes, what and where. They should be fixed. You may be able to get it working there depending on the error(s). Try to right click the offending device and enable it, start it, update the driver... It needs to be enabled somehow. Make sure the Integrated device is enabled if there is one. You may be prompted to reboot. See if your Windows sounds now work. If you sound device is built in to your motherboard (an Integrated sound device) make sure it is enabled then you may need to install/ reinstall the sound drivers for it but to do that, you need to identify you motherboard and/or BIOS to download them. You can't figure that out when it boots (you have to be fast). Here is some cute free tool to tell you all about it your motherboard, but there are many such tools from which to choose. http://www.cpuid.com/pcwizard.php or http://www.majorgeeks.com/download4181.html Jose |
