Re: No Sound after formatting hard drive

check if your soundcard compatible with your WindowsXP. if not, download the updated drivers from your vendor's website and install it.

You've simply neglected to install the necessary device drivers.

Re: No Sound after formatting hard drive

I'm with catweasle on this, lack of sound drivers is usually the cause...

Re: No Sound after formatting hard drive

Right click on My PC go to Manage and select the device manager... check if the direvers are there (see if there are any ! signs or errors).

If its there should work... tell us what sound card is.

Re: No Sound after formatting hard drive

Catweazle and Zachery are right. Just go to your sound card manufacturers website and download and install the latest drivers.
