When you reinstalled Windows XP, it did not load the driver for your sound card. You will need to reinstall that driver.
Go into the Control panel and open the System Icon
Go to the Hardware tab and click the Device Manager button
Click on the + sign in front of the Sund and Audio section
Should open and show you the name of your Sound Card
If there is a red x or yellow ! in front of it, it is not correctly installed
Right click and uninstall the card
Reboot and than may resolve the issue
If not, you will need to go to the website of the manufacturer of your PC, look up your PC model, and download the audio driver for your sound card. Will have install instruction with it. Once installed, you should have sound again.

you do not opt to pressure on formating hardchronic in case you want to reinstall residing house windows xp. The bootable XP cd works for both. initiate your computer with installation cd in the CDchronic. If it does no longer boot from CD, then replace the boot determination (press F8, F12, Del... verify at the same time as computer starts off) to CD as first determination. at the same time as the computer boots from xp installation CD, this is going to invite for installation with 'format' or without format ideas. this is going to format the hardchronic and set up xp. if you're searching subject, then you actually can do wtih 'DOS'. First have the DOS bootable floopy or CD with format software. Now variety the comman 'format' from the inspiration (A:format C: ) which will ask you for affirmation. in case you click 'definite', this is going to initiate formating your hard disk drive. right here, A: is thechronic the position you've format software and C: is thechronic you want to format. Becareful to shop your archives before starting off format command!

What you can do is, open up start, settings, control panel, add hardware, Next, then it will search for your sound card, if anything it will tell you what sound card you have if you don't know, and it may possibly try to install the driver. To search for the driver. Select location as C: If it fails it will tell you that the sound drivers failed to install.
From there: open start, run, type this:
winmsd
Enter
Click on components
then sound devices.
This should tell you what kind of sound drivers you have.

Ask any Mac user when they last had to reformat their computer. I haven't done it in 17 years.
