    Honestly I think it was under the sound tap in device props.

    Wrong thing was set under default device.

    you should have a drivers/utilities cd for your motherboard ,if not- go to mobo's site and download sound drivers to enable onboard sound. What brand is the computer?

    You need to load the drivers for it, find out exactly what the device is, and go their site and get the driver for it.Does the modem work ? sometimes these things are together.

    You will probably need to get the drivers for the onbaoard sound card.

    The board\computer came with a resource disk

    OR

    Go to Control Panel > System > Hardware > Device Manager

    There you can find the maker of the sound card and go to their web site for a driver package.

    Need to systems restore to 'default' and it should pick the sound card up unless you need some type of driver for your sound card. Then you would need to find out what type sound card and modem you have and http://www.microsoft.com. XP has up-grade drivers , but some software is not compatable with Windows XP . I found that out with my camera and Robio software for IBM camera's won't work without new software.

    It may be on one of the CD's that came with the computer.
    Otherwise you can go to:

    http://update.microsoft.com

    and they can update most of your hardware.

    That's if you got XP the RIGHT way. ;D

    If you go to your control panel and click on "sound and Audio Devices" then click on "sounds" and choose "windows default" and then check the next three choices to make sure all cards are registering. If not you may be able to manually click on them and see if they are still there and reset them. If not have you tried a System Restore yet?

    Throw it out the window and go buy yourself a new one.

    Ok, let me give this a try. Since you didnt tell what your audio device is I can only give you some general advice. By computer sounds I assume your talking about windows start up sounds etc.

    Windows claims you have no audio device which makes me believe you need to run some software associated with your computer. Look to see if you have some software related to your particular machine.

    Also it would be helpfull if you gave some info on what type of machine you have and which windows your loading. Its kind of unusual for XP not to see the device or at least ask you when loading it, to supply a software disc.
