    Is this a new build?
    It's possible the audio is disabled in the BIOS settings?

    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.

    Do you know if your frined re-installed the audio drivers after the restore?
    That might be the problem.
