no windows active mixer device

For some reason my mixer device has been deleted I have no sound and do not know how to get it back! Any help would be great!

Thanks
Ron

Ron;
You need to install your sound driver.
Go to the website of your sound card/computer manufacturer and get the
latest Windows XP sound driver.

I think that the problem is not with the devices.
My problrm is:
may computer have a sound card in the motherboard
after the instalation of the sp2 I don´t have the mixer device, and any
option to active the sound, the volume, change the speekeres, etc.
I buy anather sound card, I install it, I change the Bios configuration, and
I install the drivers that come with the new sound card.
Nothing changes. I have no sounds, no option to change de configuration, and
I want to change the sound options I recive the message that I have no
"mixer" device, to go install it.

OK we got it fixed. The plug and play software emulator had was missing.
Fixed by searching for machine.inf then copy to temp directory. remove
at about line 20 " ExcludeFromSelect=* "

goto control panel, add new hardware, next (let it seach), yes hardware
is connected, next, scroll to bottom, add new hardware device, next,
install from list, next, select system devices, next, select have disk,
point to amended copy of machine.inf in temp directory, scroll to "plug
and play software device emulator" in right hand column, next and
complete install.
