Have just installed Microsoft windows xp and have found that I cannot get any sound from my computer.
Had to reinstall this as previous windows was not found to be legal,any help will be appreciated, thank you.

You need to find out exaclty what sound board you have and get the proper drivers for it.

I think a better solution would be to install drivers of winxp and also install all applications of motherboard cd.your problem is that u may either have not installed drivers or don't have the required drivers software with u.so go get it!
