You can download Belarc Advisor - it should ID your sound card.

Look in the Multimedia section.
My computer lists this chip
Realtek AC'97 Audio for VIA (R) Audio Controller
You then need to go to the manufacturers web site to download a new driver.
Good Luck

Sorry for being a pest here, but in multimedia section its saying none detected? The sound worked fine when i was on vista.
Didn't find the answer you are looking for?

The sound chip must not be in the list of devices that Belarc can detect. There are new generation sound chips that do NOT have Windows XP drivers. This is a common problem with laptops that are downgraded from VISTA to XP. The solution might be to upgrade to Windows 7.
