No Sound After Win XP Pro install.

[m29660]

Hi there,

I have a Samsung P28 and installed Win XP Pro. This was a clean install and everything works fine except there's no sound. In the Device Manager, there is a yellow? with an exclamation mark on Network Controller, Video Controller and Multimedia Audio Controller.

Following other threads I have my Belarc Advisor report.

I have been to the Samsung and ATI site, i've downloaded various components but im totally confused as none resolve the issue. Finally I read today that the yellow? with an exclamation mark means it incompatable.

If you could point me in the right direction, i'd be a happy bunny.

The solution to this was easier than I thought, www.samsungpc.com/products/p28/p28.htm contains all the original drivers loaded when the laptop was new.

Hope this helps someone else, if they have a samsung.
