Ron,

Your answer about "C drive" really leads me to believe that you aren't going to be able to fix it yourself (holding back a chuckle...). We could go back and forth trying to troubleshoot this one but I think Spa is right...you need your geek friend as it is usually an easy problem to fix for someone "in the know."

Just to cover the basics, you DO have your speakers plugged in properly, no? I have a 5.1 system and all are different but you get primary sound out of the green socket. Basic but obvious mistake.

Another thing to try. Put a CD into your CD/DVD/CDRW drive and plug a pair of headphones into the jack of the drive. Any sound there?

Could be when you went from Vista to XP the old driver no longer works. Try to go to Realtek and upload a XP compatable sound driver.      ronhartsell wrote: Hi there Guido...how was your trip??  Hope you had fun!! Does, 'C drive' help??  And 'no' is the answer to your question.  As I have reported, I have less knowledge than Freeze!!      guidogodoy wrote: "Main driver?!" No such thing. All drivers control one part of the motherboard or add-in card. Terminology aside, do you know the make of your soundcard? Is it built in or an add-on? Creative (believe it or not) had MAJOR problems with Vista, for example. If you have no idea how to find what I am asking, lemme know. BTW (says the guy typing on the Mac), Vista got better with the SP fixes...thus the "Mojave experiment" to change public perceptions. Still, I have XP running on four of my own personal build machines. Vista was a royal bomb.      ronhartsell wrote: Finally got the cpu back (been gone since b4 turkey day) and the problem was the main driver went bad...got rid of Vista and now back with XP...but now the speakers aren't working...I've clicked on everything I think I needed to, but still no sound...any advice anyone??
