My inlaws have no sound
their driver/audio controller needs to be reinstalled
there is no disk, and I cannot find anything in i386
I get prompred to reinstall it and automati cannot find it, either
is there a way to fix this without the disk?

 

Maybe.

What is the device?

Or is it onboard? If so, what is the motherboard?

all unknown

 

OEM computer?

What model?

 

Hp
513c?

 

ok, standby.

 

Well, hell. HP doesn't supply drivers for the sound on their site.

Does it have the original OEM install of XP on it?

 

that I cannot answer
its a "hand me down" computer
and a couple weeks ago the pc wouldnt boot
a guy they know repaired that
and now can access windows

but I am thinking it is, probably
I might have to do a complete recovery, but I believe that is what he did, in the first place
I cannot find any audio drivers in the recovery console

 

Are there any HP entries on start, all programs?

I know HP puts in a driver reinsallaltion utility in there.

 

there are,
but specificly what they are, I cannot remember
I will check tomorrow
thanks Adrynalyne

 

ok,
no there are not
there used to be, before the reinstilation/recovery of XP
I don't know what the guy did when he "fixed" it

where would that shortcut in all programs lead me?
windows cannot find it on its own
is there an alternative audio driver i may install via the net?
I see many video here:
