Unfortunately, for the past several months I have been unable to hear any sounds. Checking ''Sounds, Speech and Audio Devices'' under the Control Panel indicates that there is ''No Audio Device.'' Yet, when I check the hardware tab it states that the ''C-Media AC 97 Audio Device'' is working properly.

Checking other hardware reveals that all other devices (Audio Codecs, Legacy Audio Devicess, and Media Control Devices) are also working properly. i have tried everything but it doenst seem to work.


Heres my laptop details

serial no: CNF73322DB,
P/N: GS627EA#ABB
PRODUCT KEY: PVRMM-GTXF3-R3D6V-93W8H-CXP8Q
sYSTEM SERVICE TAG: V6430en
BIOS: HP-604000O ver 1.00PARTTBL
pROCESSOR: GenuineIntel family 6 Model 14 1.9GHZ Stepping

The model you have appears to be the Presario V6430en, and this has Conexant High Definition audio, but with XP you need the M$ Universal Audio Architecture installing first. Your model does not give XP drivers but this V6000 has the same drivers

install the M$ driver first then the Conexant audio driver next

Set a System Restore Point before installing EACH driver just in case
Start / All Programs / Accessories / System Tools / System Restore / select Create a restore point and follow instructions
