Clicked on sound device, the + sign.
There was 5 different things for sound and vedio.
I updated drivers for all of them.
The said the best drivers were installed.
When I try to play a cd I get an Error message saying there is no sound device is installed.
I guess I better open my computer and have a look.

Opened it up and don"t see a sound card, combination sound/modum card so I must have onboard sound. Does that mean I need a new motherboard?

if it has the combo sound /modem[old] then you need drivers for it .
does the plug from the speakers go into a socked on the combo card or a socket up higher by the mouse /keyboard plugs .
also if the computer is older ,with ME on it then you would need to many new items[motherboard,cpu/cpu fan ,ram/power supply just to name a few ] because of changing technology that it would be cheaper to buy a new tower . open case and see if you can see a model number on the motherboard ,usually between or near the pci slots [white slots ]

the board has Via chipset ,via ac97 onboard audio .
this one should make it work .,just unzip it and there is asetup-exe file in the folder .
http://www.softwarepatch.com/utiliti...curity-dl.html

also you tower is really small and has Utlra -atx board ,so you would be hard pressed to get new updated board for that .
I just had some on at my door last week with the same tower looking for a power supply ,but because of its odd size and outdated computer i told them it would cost to much to replace ,and that i could put all working parts into a used tower i have with regular psu for a lot less .if yo udon't mind me asking how much did the new PSU cost

With shipping it was under $50

I'm going to put it back togeather, then uninstall all sound drivers.
Then boot up and see if Xp finds them all.
From there its anyones guess.

Yes. I sent it to the puter that needs help. I've been jumping back and fourth.
I'll try that before I uninstall the drivers.
