Ivan: do you just mean speakers and stuff or do do you mean what sound card?

littleport2003 i have a sound blaster too, an oldie an it work OK.if this SB is not compatible with xp is not an SB
I already told you what to do,i could make a bible here(as long)trying to tell you at sofware system levels (in kernel)uninstal drivers from system administrator,etc etc,it just will make things much complicated,follow what i already told you before,any *.dll damage will be replace .IT WILL FIX IT
that issue isn't big deal,
