SOUND, anyone???

[annieman]

I NEED HELP!
i just installed windows xp and my sound doesn't work! when i had windows 2000 the sound worked just fine so i'm pretty sure there's nothing wrong with the speakers. my friend says that i need to find out what soundboard i have and download the right driver...? i have no clue what he's talking about .. and i don't remember having to do any of that when i had windows 2000. what do i have to do??? PLEASE HELP!!
