My little brother recently changed the operating system from XP to 2000 Professional and while all of the other systems are functioning fine, I cannot seem to get any sound output. Before, on XP, the sound was fine....so I know I have a card in there. So, whst do I do and where do I look to find out what sound card I have and after that, how do I find a downloadable driver for it? |

right click my computer and choose properties. then click the hardware tab and device manager. See if it's listed under sound or other devices. You may have to open the PC and look at the physical card to see what it is. If you have a Dell or Gateway I think you can put your serial # in a form in thier support area and it will tell what came with the machine and give you the option to download the driver. |
| Have you run the xp update program? It checks for drivers, although might have trouble with an unrecognized card. Also, if you know what kind of sound card you have, post it. If not, share what model/brand computer it is and I'm sure one of us can look it up for ya. |
