No volume/ no audio drive problem

Hi, I have been loaned a computer following my owns pc motherboard failure, but can not get any sound out of it. its a Stone computer, with windows XP home (service pack 2) and Intel cerleron 2.40MHz.

When I go into accesories/volume control, up comes a message as follows;

There are no active devices available. To install mixer devices, go to Control Panel, click printer and other Hardare, then click Add Hardware.

On trying Control Panel, then Sounds and Audio Devices, there is a message;
No Audio Devices.

On clicking Hardware, the following items come up;

Samsung CD ROM SC152G location 0
Audio Codecs location unknown
Legacy Audio Drives location unknown
Media Control Devices location unknown
Legacy Video capture Devices location unknown
Video Codecs location unknown


Is there anything I can do to get the volume/sound working please?

Many thanks,

John.

 

Hi there,

Is the sound onboard or a separate PCI card?

If it's onboard, could you find out the motherboard model or if it's PCI then find out the card model.

 

Hi and thanks for your reply. how do I find these things out please?

Thanks again,

John
