Hi,

If you have Windows xp and service pack 3 and are experiencing difficulties with having no sound after a fresh installation,try this,it works 1) Open Reg-edit and go to : 

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Current Control Set\Control\Windows\CDS Version 
2) Double-click CDS Version and change it to 200, then restart your system. 
100 (hex) means its sp1 
200 (hex) means its sp2 
300 (hex) means its sp3 
3) Install kb888111xp2.exe (Microsoft UAA Patch which should be available from your Audio driver folder) 
4) Install audio driver 
5) Change CSD Version back to 300 (remember this or else you system will think it's still SP2 and many SP2 updates may reemerge in your Windows Update, that's my logical guess anyway :mrgreen: ) 
6) Restart your system 

I hope it will be help you.
