No Audio after Reinstalling Windows XP

[Evastar]

I have no audio on my pc after reinstalling windows xp. Which is a major tragedy for me cos i love listening to you tube.

So what do i need to do to get my audio back?

What make & model is the pc T ?

It's an ancient Dell heap of rubbish noely, i guess i should look out my old driver disks and reinstall them then?

You should always use Driver Max when re installing an operating system ;)

Post the model & I`ll have a look for you :) Or if you have the Dell drivers discs then that should do the trick.

Whats Driver Max? And can i use it now?

Wont work now as you use it before you wipe the other OS & then transfer the drivers.

Dell has probably the best back up and support around, so you should get the audio drivers no bother for your pc on the Dell site.

Dell Drivers and Downloads

To get the Make and Model of the PC when using XP you can try the following.

Start | Run | type in:

dxdiag

then 'OK'

and now report back what it says for system manufacturer and system model.

Driver Genius is very handy also as you don't have to a backup before you reinstall windows, it knows what hardware you have on there. I have it if you need it Eva. 👍
