    Did you neglect to install your chipset, LAN, sound and video drivers after the reinstallation of Windows?

    What are your system specifications and operating system? Are there any yellow symbols next to any devices in the Device Manager?

    I think you mean "symbols." What about the first question?

    Also, where did you get the drivers you used?

    See if you can find the most recent sound driver for your PC, uninstall the old one through Add or Remove Programs and install the new one.

    I'm afraid you don't understand me. I'll try one more time. Find the latest driver for your sound card and install it. Be sure to uninstall the old sound driver first.

    You reinstalled Service Pack 2

    1) You should consider upgrading to Service Pack 3 (Microsoft doesn't support SP2 any longer). You are missing many updates

    2) Have you run MS Update and installed all the updates for SP2 yet?? In fact, if your computer uses high definition audio then XP SP2 needs an update for high definition audio to work . See HERE
