Hi guys, I reformated my PC to windows xp service pck 2 but it has no sounds.. under the device manager it says that, they have ? On multimedia audio controller and ? Pci etc.. my board is Board: i440BX-I8671... please help me

Are there any yellow marks in device mgr?

Have you gone to sound and Audio Devices in control panel and make sure that sound is not muted?

Double click on speaker next to clock and make sure master volume and wave is not muted also

I think sound driver is missing . You should install the sound driver back...

After re-reading your post, do you have question marks next to your devices?

Was this the original disk that came with PC or just a copy of windows that you had?

Is it a brand name computer, if so, what model?

Once you uninstall your sound driver then again install. I am asking what about vga?

Is it OK? If OK no problem about sound driver because it will be support.

I think I have to install the sound card, but I don't have soundcard driver...

Most of the driver you can download from manufacturer's Web site.

Use your board model number and brand to search for the drivers online. They are always normally online.
