Sound Card Problem, Please Help

twenty20 · 04-11-2008, 10:00 AM

I've got an Asus notebook A6J, and recently reinstalled my XP. After reinstalling all the drivers provided by Asus, I tried playing some mp3 on it, but the sound wouldn't work.

Apparently there was no audio devices installed. So I downloaded and reinstalled Realtek HD audio driver, the one that my sound chip supposedly works with. But after installing it, restarting, I check it again and the sound still doesn't work. In my sound devices, the only available devices are "Legacy sound device" and "sound codec", but they don't work.

I went through the threads here, and the following is what the hardware reader said about my computer:
