    No sound after reinstallation of XP
    « on: April 30, 2009, 03:13:04 PM »
    I recently re-installed Windows XP. After a few minutes of messing around, trying to get all my preferences back to normal, I discovered I had no sound

    Checked the Device Manager and a bunch or drivers show up with a yellow question mark:
    Audio Device on High Definition Audio Bus
    Ethernet Controller
    Network Controller
    Video Controller (VGA Compatible)

    Motherboard Specs:
    Macufacturer: Dell Inc.
    Model: 0JC474
    Chipset: Intel i915/i915G
    Southbridge: Intel 82801FB (ICH6)

    Any tips about how to get my sound back?

    Whenever windows is re-installed your drivers are wiped out...
    Re-install all your drivers starting with the MBoard chipset drivers first...

      Where would I find the drivers to install?
      I don't have any disks or anything.
      What website should I go to.

      Travel to Dell's site and enter the service tag # from the back of the machine...
      it will list all your drivers.
