After reinstalling win xp ,I get no sound .Belarc Advisor doesn't detect soun card-I think it is on motherboard(Via Technologies,KT600-8237).Another forum suggested downloading a driver which turned out to be Realtek,this installed and is recognized asmultimedia by Belarc but still no sound.Any suggestions........Please go gently I'm a Newbie!

You need the driver specific for your motherboard.

If you don't have the driver CD go to their web site and insert your exact model and then get the audio driver.

If this is a brand name computer then go to their web site. e.g. Dell; HP; etc.
