sound issues with xp

hello....
I am having some issues with sound quality. I just reformatted my PC and have lost a 3d? toggle bar in sound and audio controller. the sound on my computer has always been dodgy but a friend loaded this 3d? toggle bar, each time i loaded windows media player to listen, if i went in and moved the toggle slightly the sound of tunes would be premium. I am having major issues trying to get that sound quality back...... i am a musician and it's killing me!!:bs_lame:

if any one can thow a couple of suggestions this way??? i am pretty technically unsavvy but can follow directions.....:notworthy:

thanx good people.

Re-installing XP has a nasty habit of wiping audio drivers.

The best general solution is to re-load your computer's audio drivers.

The best place to find these drivers is the computer manufacturer's web site.

Look for Downloads/Drivers/Audio for your exact computer model.

If your computer was custom built then the motherboard manufacturer is the best source.

If you need help in searching for the download please let us know and supply the exact make and model of the computer or motherboard.
