I've a pentium 4 PC with 915GL motherboard. Don't know somehow sound device got corrupted.But now when i'm trying to reinstall my sound drivers again I'm getting an error msg like-"Can't found match Realtek HDAudio inf file." & "Realtek HDAudio driver setup failure." If i try to install Realtek Software alone also I'm getting the same error msg.I've already formatted & loaded the Window XP mediacentre Edition Again.But no change is there. Don't know what to do? Is there anyone to help me ?

If you are able to go online try to find the drivers for your audio board. The audio board may be built in to the motherboard.
It should still have drivers.
You may have to open up your computer to find out what the audio board is. It should have a manufacturer and a model number. You need to have both.
Download the drivers--they will usually fit on a floppy disk if you have that capability.
Then you can run the drivers and install them through your installation menu on the control panel.

Besides trying the official sources for the drivers as other users pointed out, i think you should try installing a generic sound driver.
This only applies if the soundcard is not built into the motehrboard which i believe it is, either way i will state it!
Open up the case and take out the sound card. Then boot windows. And install the sound driver that was given with the sound card or that you obtained online. If it fails or not, turn off the pc and pop back in the soundcard, windows *should* pick it up and if the driver failed to install last time, a found new hardware dialog box will appear and you should choose windows update to find the necessary drivers.
If it is built into tthe motherboard try this.
Go right click on my computer ->properties->harware->device manager. Choose the sound tab. right click and scan for hardware changes to make sure everything is being picked up. Your Realtek card should be appearing in this list, it may have a yellow ! mark after it. Right click on it and shoose update driver
choose no when it asks to connect to the internet,
choose advanced,
choose the driver yourself option.
On the left you have a list of manufacturers, somewhere on that list you will find a manufacturer with a generic sound driver. Try that.
If all that fails then presume the worst and the soundcard is fried. Buy a pci soundcard for about €15 (or whatever your currency is) and the plug and play i described earlier should get your soundsystem back up and running.

Perhaps, you are not actually using a RealTek device or, you don't have a proper driver. Just use the CD (not Windows CD, I'm talking about the motherboard CD) that came with the computer and install the sound drivers.
Best option is to call the company you bought the comp from, and shout at them!!!
