Reinstalled Win Xp, Sound dont work

drjimbop · 06-29-2009, 11:40 PM

ive read the forums to find some answers, but i see similar ones, but not quite my problem. I reinstalled Windows xp because i wanted to start over, ive installed every possible thing i think of, but when i go into itunes or anything like that, it says i cant play them because the sound device is messed up or something. so people tell me its the drivers, so i go to install them, and i get this thing called (driver detective) it runs, but it says i need microsoft .net framework or something to run driver detective. so i figure i got to windows update, but it doesnt work, everytime i go to windows.com, it says its a broken link or page cant be displayed. i find that quite a few websites have this problem. plz help, thx in advance

Hello,

Post the make/model of the PC. If this is a custom build then post the specs.

MB,RAM,CPU,PSU,etc

Click Start > Run > type devmgmt.msc

When Device Manager opens list the entries with ? or ! beside them

Theres nothing with ?s or !s. Intel Celeron processor 1.6 GHz. 33.5 gigs of hard drive, .99 gigs of ram. not much i know about hardware and eveything so if you need more speciic things please tell me. its a dell labtop. inspiron B130 or something. (i figured if i did a windows update it might fix it, but i when i click on windows update, it says this page cannot be displayed, this has never happened before so i am also stuck with that.)

you can get the latest .Net Framework from here:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

do you know what is the model of your sound card? maybe we can help you to get the right driver

ok, for some reason, windows update is working again and i did the update, now a whole bunch of devices recieved (!). the ethernet and both video controller devices have it. and the IDT High definition audio codec has it to. it didnt before but it does now

Go here for the drivers:

Install the chipset driver first. remmeber to reboot between each driver installation.

drjimbop · 07-03-2009, 09:53 PM

Riskyone101 · 07-04-2009, 12:50 AM
