if you can help it would be amazing

also another interesting fact is that i installed ubuntu and the sound works fine .go figure that one

If the soundcard is on-board, then the sound drivers are within the motherboard drivers bundle on motherboard drivers CD. Same goes for linux drivers.

%M

Iv had this problem 4 a week and i havent solved it yet
im running a windows xp service pack 2, i formatted my pc and i lost my sound card driver , and i cant find it on the internet plz help.

If you know what SC you have, then finding apropriate drivers shouldn't be the problem here.
