No active audio mixer found?!?

Question

We had a friend reformat our Windows XP home.
Now we have no sound!
It says, "No audio mixer found".

How do I get an audio mixer?!

Help!!!

Answer 1

You need a sound card driver.
If you know what soundcard you have download the driver from the manufacturer's website.
Else, detect your card using a SW: http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/Back-Up-and-Recovery/WinDriver-Expert.shtml
