hey guys,im new on this board, i figured i would give it a try.
ok, i just formated my notebook and installed XP. I dont have sound anymore. If i look, it says device is working properly , but when i go to control panel/Sound and audio device, all the tabs are marked as no audio device or no playback device. Also, where is the time on the right bottom of the screen, there is no little speaker for my sound. Sorry im a little novice in computers. What I basicaly need, is the CORRECT drivers for this so I can install it again, or do something to MAKE IT WORK! lol Can anyone help ? Here is my spects.
