i have a windows XP computer that was just somewhat a "hand-me-down" to use from abroad. it works great! the only problem is that there were no sounds! when i go to the Volume Control a message will show up saying that there were no sound device detected or something? we have the speakers connected to the right place... my cuzin told me that we need a CD 4 that.. which we dont have! he also said that u can download the sounds from the internet... the problem he doesnt know where 2 look!
So i wanna know if what he's saying is true and where can i find this site! Plz Help! anyone who can tell me where i can download the sounds will surely get the best answer! Tnx!
PS-the computer sound system never worked ever before

Sounds like you need to install a sound card or if it already has one then you need to install a driver for it. Go to the website of your PC manufacturer and search for 'sound card drivers'. If you don't know what kind of motherboard/PC you have I would just go out and buy a new sound card ($10-$15). It plugs into the motherboard of the PC, very easy to do. Once you do that, XP will usually detect it or you will have to install the software that came w/ it. After that just plug in your speakers to the sound card and you should have sound!

Download the application:
http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/Back-Up-and-Recovery/WinDriver-Expert.shtml
This will detect and scan your drivers.
Once you have located your sound driver, go to the manufacturer's website to download the driver for that model.
Install the driver, restart the system and the sound would work.
However, if the sound still does not work this means that you need to replace your sound card.

hmm... dunno... possibly a hardware problem. since it's running on XP the computer should naturally have a sound card... maybe it's not plugged in properly or maybe it's a driver problem... or maybe you could add d sound card manually via add/remove hardware option.
