You might even consider uninstalling the driver and letting XP Pro reinstalling it.

Control Panel>Performance and Maintenance>System>Hardware tab>Then Device Manager

Find the soundcard then unistall the old driver...you might even consider some of the Service Packs that Microsoft has out for Pro as they are different than those for Home.

Let us know if any of this helps,

Check the sound volume control or mixer to see if you have "mute" checked on. Uncheck it if it is.

Yep, Reinstalling device drivers might certainly do it, also the whole digital/analog and mute issues. Don't want to repeat all that was said.

Also you can try installing Directx9b : www.microsoft.com/directx
As this can be the source of much video/audio problems in windows xp.

Hope that helps
