Audio problems

[mcaweh]

I can't hear sound form my pc since I formatted it and installed Window XP. It complains the driver is not installed. I downloaded a driver from the VIA website but when I try to install, it complains of not passing the Windows logo test.

Please I really need sound very badly.
Thanks

Hi! You say it complains that it has not passed the windows logo test? So what happens? Does it cancel by itself or do you cancel it?
