this is the onboard audio from Intel http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Deta...nal &lang=eng

but if you have a sound card installed it may not work, having both causes confusion so XP uses neither.

this is Sound Blaster driver

Set a System Restore Point before installing drivers just in case
Start / All Programs / Accessories / System Tools / System Restore – click radio button Create a restore point and follow instructions

I don't have any sound on my laptop anymore, I did at one point. But then when I moved house, it doesnt work anymore. I am talking about the speakers, the actual Laptop makes a beeping sound sometimes.

I am a bit confused about the information you need, but I will try and give you as much info as possible:

Operating System System:
Windows XP
ACER
Aspire 3502LM
Intel Celeron M Processor 360
1.4 GHz, 400 MHz FSB, 1MB L2 cache
15.0" XGA TFT LCD
40GB HDD
DVD-Dual double layer
512MB DDR
serial number:LXA5005141520033AAEM00

Thank you very much

Also when I look at Device Manager, Under Other Devices, Multimedia Audio Controller has a big yellow question mark beside it! My laptop keeps trying to install software for it, but it can't find any software to install!

any ideas how I can fix this problem?

Thank you
