Do you still have the old driver CD from the sound card?

Or download the old XP drivers.

i downloaded the drivers from the realtek site, the sound is onboard

where would i download the old xp drivers from? you think this is software rather than hardware problem?
thanks

Hi

I am looking at it that the new drivers are for Win7, & will not work on XP.

May be software or hardware.

Download from maker site.
