"Sound..."

My brother formatted my PC..now it's got no sound.

How do I find out what sound card I have so that I can download some stuff to make my PC make some noises.

What operating system are you running, XP?

Yeah, my brother installed windows xp professional

If you right click my computer on the desktop and go to properties, a panel should open. If you click the hardware tab, and then scroll down it should have your sound card on the list with like a red error sign next to it.
It should say what make the sound card is.

(I think, i'm a mac user, can hardly remember all that driver installation nonsence)

Double post.
oops.

Damn.

I fixed someones computer once because there sound card wernt working, just like this case, after reformatting it just wouldnt recognise or install.
They had to buy a new one. It was pretty old anyway, i think it just went kablooie.

My brother and best friend can help, but I can't wait til morning :o)

Right click 'My computer', go to properties, then the hardware tab. Then go to 'Device Manager'. Expand the 'Sound, video and game controllers' it should say there
