New hard drive and no sound - help

[Darren192]

Hello,

I bought a second hand PC that didn't work, with a new hard drive it does now. But there's no sound and if i click on the volume control it says there's no mixer, I'm only using the monitor for sound, by the way. I have tried installing fresh nForce 2 sound drivers to no avail. Any suggestions?

Try this first:

If after restart the above doesn't work...

Then this:
