Audio problem

[carot1d]

[FONT=arial]Hello, I have problem with my sound. [/FONT]

[FONT=arial]Few days ago during "cleaning" my computer sounds mystically gone. I have tried to install it from my original motherboard CD, it went till 100% and then error poped up "Driver not found! Reboot your system, and run this setup again" . So I did like they said, but still same. I went to google about this like everyone, after spending hours with not solving problem I decided completely reinstall my windows xp which used to work like a charm in the past. So after losing all my data and reinstalling windows I went install my audio again I SAW THIS STUPID ERROR AGAIN "Driver not found! Reboot your system, and run this setup again.". I was extremely pissed. So now I am sitting without sounds and hope anyone can help me to solve it. [/FONT]

[FONT=arial]My sounds drivers SoundMAX, I use Windows XP.[/FONT]

Probably there are thousand of threads like this no sound and etc but nothing helped me.
[FONT=arial]Thanks for any information that could be helpful. [/FONT]
