thank you for your reply i really appreciate it. its not a new build i bought it about 2 years ago from dell but my friend recently restored it with windows xp profesional when it was originally home edition. if it is disabled in the bios how do i activate it? cheers.
i checked the bios and its saying its on i think im not to clever with computers but audio says its on in the bios but still no sound
Do you know if your frined re-installed the audio drivers after the restore? That might be the problem.
not 100% sure but i actually tried installing the drivers myself and nothing worked it downloaded fine but still no sound. im really starting to give up on this now ive run out of ideas, any ideas? cheers.
