sound card problem

When I reinstalled windows xp on this machine i lost my sound card.
It says that it is working properly but yet it wont work.. Tried reinstalling drivers but did not help... Any ideas will be apperciated :confused

 

its almost certainly a driver problem. what soundcard is it?

 

not sure. it is built into the motherboard. I have a compaq presario sr5210nx

 

I cant find that model listed anywhere but click here to get the drivers for SR5210CF it is probably the same sound card. Select your OS and pick the audio drivers

 

Hi and welcome to MG's,

At what service pack is your XP OS at ?? if you are not at sp3 yet then you will need the UAA driver for the audio to work!!
