The Motherboard Chipset is an Intel Brookdale-G i845GEV
I am running Windows XP Home Edition SP3, v.3311
It has a Realtek AC'97 Audio device. I have loaded the drivers for this several times to no avail. I have tried the Sound Blaster card, but that didn't work either. Same result so I restored the Realtek.
I don't have a Windows disk, just an area on my hard drive, that theoretically contains the system.
All of the devices claim: 'Device is working properly'
This machine is very fast, at least for me, and I hate to spend over $600 just because of the sound.
Can anyone help with this? I too, am getting very depressed about this.
Thanks

which HP model do you have, all those boards have Realtek onboard sound, but do you have a sound card installed. Get Belarc, copy and paste the report, omit the Software section, it gives Product Codes for your OS and the Windows Critical Updates.

check this
Check Control Panel/ Sound & Audio Devices/ Audio tab/ Sound Playback click on down arrow and check that the correct audio is selected. Typically the problem will be they something like "modem line 0 playback" might have been substituted for the proper audio device.
Start / Control Panel / Administrative Tools / Component Services / a separate window will open – in left pane click Services(Local) from the tree / Scroll down to Windows Audio service / if the service is Disabled or Manual right click > select Properties > under Startup Type change to Automatic > click Apply / click Start > OK Reboot
