So my sound isn't working on my XP Pro, and i think it might be because the sound device is a PCI device...is that possible? As i look in "device manager" and it has a yellow exclamation on "other devices", which breaks down to to two other exclamated "PCI device" and "PCI simple communications controller". The only reason why i think it might not be the case is that under "Sound, Video, and Game controllers" it shows i have Legacy Audio Drivers and Codecs (which i have Realtek [not currently working], i'm not sure if thats the same thing) and it claims they are working properly. I installed the latest motherboard drivers from my manufacturer (Nvidia) and it didn't change ne thing. Does XP PRO support PCI devices? Much help would be appreciated =) SYSTEM: HP Pavilion Slimline s3223w Windows Vista Home Premium Pre-installed Windows XP Pro SP 2 Added w/VistaBootPRO Dual-Boot AMD Athlon Dual 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4400+ 2.3Ghz 2.0 GB DDR2 Patriot RAM Nvidia nForce 430 Motherboard Nvidia GeForce 6150SE Video Card (integrated)
the problems you have with your xp is because of your computer which only has vista drivers for it not xp. realtek sound driver page. select windows 2000, windows xp/2003, either zip version or executable version. http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads...=3&GetDown=false#High Definition Audio Codecs
