case you need this i have 1470mb of ram, and its a 32-bit os i have no
idea how to fix this problem but i'd like my sound back thank you! =:-)



The same problem as what? Updated from what? You're posting on one of those
websites that purports to be a "forum" but really just scrapes Usenet
newsgroup postings. Those of us who use a real newsreader to access Usenet
(very easy to set up and I'll give you the standard information below)
don't see the other post to which you are referring so have no idea what
you mean.

The general answer is that you need to go to HP's website and find the audio
drivers for your specific model machine, download and install them. If you
need more help or need to provide more details (like what you've already
done to troubleshoot) then refer to the "How to Post" section below.

Since you are using a web interface, you may not realize that this is really
a newsgroup. You will get far more out of this resource if you learn to use
a newsreader. There are many good newsreaders for Windows, but you can use
Outlook Express (XP) or Windows Mail (Vista) since you already have it.
Here are some links to information about newsgroups:
