After the switch to Pro, I came across the problem that all of you have had. I have searched for hours and have installed the drivers for the video card that is supposedly not there. I may need other drivers, but I can' t find any. My motherboard is an ECS RC415ST-HM. I can't figure out what's wrong with it. None of the drivers do anything for the sound. If you can help it would be much appreciated. If you need anymore information from me just ask.

the audio is Realtek High Definition go here http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/...Audio%20Codecs

Tick I accept the above – wait till site resets then click Next

Download the (Executable file) save to desktop, double click downloaded file on desktop to install

The site is slow

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

I bought a Compaq Presario V6000 laptop with an already installed Windows Vista software. Everything was working fine until i had a virus problem. i reinstalled a Windows XP Professional 2002. Service Pack 2

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.

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
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/s... duct=1842078

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
