No sound after reformatting XP

I have a Dell Dimension 3000 with windows XP. This computer was preloaded when bought directly from dell. I reformatted windows XP and do not have any sound. Went to the control panel to adjust sound and the sounds and audio device properties say I have no audio device. I have a unimodem half-duplex audio device from microsoft after checking my hardware. I've updated windows xp and also checked the Dell website for drivers. When I download drivers and open file it says there are no files to download and go to Drivers and Downloads to select files. Don't know what to do next.

Appreciate any help

 

:wave Welcome to Major Geeks! :major

You sound drivers can be found at this link, but you should install your chipset drivers from this link first. Restart the PC when the install is done, then install the audio drivers from the first link I posted; just double-click on a downloaded file to start the install process. Good luck! Let us know how it goes!
:-D

 

I downloaded drivers but after double clicking the application was launched then I got the same message as before. Message said, There are no files to download and go to Drivers and Downloads to select files. I did restart each time I downloaded driver just in case but no luck.

Thanks for your suggestion.

 

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!

The sound is working just fine now. I appreciate it.
