    Well I have a sound problem with a Dell Latitude/D620. I install windows xp home addition. so after installing and running the program I wanted to run window media player but it give me an error which is said the following.!


    "You either do not have a sound card installed on your computer or it is not functioning properly. If you do not have a sound card installed, you must install one before you can listen to audio in a digital media file. If you do have a sound card installed, refer to its documentation to troubleshoot the problem.

    Error ID = 0x80040256, Remedy ID = 0x00000000"

    Hi,

    You want to go to Dell's site and get the chipset and audio driver for your laptop. Install the chipset driver, reboot and then install the audio driver.
