NEC Versa Laptop speakers don't work no more

[mpb42]

I have a NEC Versa Note Vx P3-500 mhz, 128 mb, and running on windows xp pro.  I'm having a difficult time making the internal speakers work for this laptop.  Originally it was pre-installed with Windows 98 and they said the speakers were working, but upon upgrading to XP it doesn't work no more.  some other functions also on keyboard no longer function too.  I tried updating the system drivers over tHE NEC webiste but still nothing works.  any idea how to make these speakers work on winxp.  I would appreciate any idea.

It may not be the speakers, it may be the sound card does not have drivers loaded, or even available for XP. You should look in Device Manager for problems and post a lot more information.
