Luis_figoismad Hi Luis_figoismad the virus problably corrupted your sound card driver why don't you try to reinstal the the driver and if the problem persist, try to reinstal windows and then the drivers. But is your card on Board or PCI?

when im installing the driver in the middle of it it stops and says -536870397 and "fail to install audio driver for windows xp. setup will exit now" and then just turns off. and i dont know if my card is on board or pci . all i know is that the speakers plug into the back ,not the front.
