After formatting my laptop and installing Xp Sp2 I lost the sound device I installed Realtek AC97 sound driver and ADI WDM but it I still the same problem, checked it on a
device manager, it is ok, but control panel says no sound device. So how can i solve this problem?
You are NOT alone! There are a lot of folks trying to correct this issue. I have been somewhat successful, but not always. The last 'fix' is a VIA download that is supposed to work with all AC97 cards. I had the same issue with the computer I am writting this from, and the sound is working once again. So try the download at: http://www.download.com/VIA-Vinyl-AC-97-Codec-Combo-Driver/3000-2120_4-10163027.html
