Download software sound driver windows xp

Computer hardware devices require software components known as 'drivers' to help the computer communicate with the device properly. Sound cards require audio drivers to function. Without drivers, sound will not come out of the speakers. Drivers are often created by the device manufacturer and can be downloaded from the manufacturer's website. However, you can have the Windows operating system search for updated drivers and install them.

In the support section download the drivers for your specific make and model of the device for your version of Windows. Note: If the manufacturer only lists drivers for Windows XP and not for Windows Vista or Windows 7, that means the device is unsupported or incompatible with the unlisted operating systems.

Choose 'Device Manager' in the Devices and Printers section.

Click the delta symbol to the left of 'Sound, video and game controllers.' This will expand a list of devices under sound, video and game controllers, which will include your sound card.
