You didn't mention doing anything with the BIOS. But I'd still go there and check to make sure that sound is enabled, as it sounds like it somehow got turned off. Drivers won't do any good if Windows is not seeing the hardware. I'm curious though, you said you upgraded to XP over Media Center. MCE is essentially XP Pro without domain registration, and with media extras. Unless you needed the domain registration, you could do more with Windows MCE. Check the BIOS for the sound hardware and let us know.
