I reformatted and reloaded xp after a nasty virus. Now, however, I
cannot play music, or get any sound. The computer keeps saying there
is no audio device. Since I know I have one - I tried the install of
drivers - nothing happens. It just keeps saying Code 28. Help!
 
Open Device Manager.
Expand Sound, Video and Game Controllers.
Double click on your Sound device to open its properties.
Click the Driver tab > Update Driver button.
Select "No, not this time" and click Next.
Select "Install from a list or specific location" and click Next.
Select "Don't search, I will choose the driver to install" and click Next.
Put a check in "Show compatible hardware" above the Model selection windows.
Select your device if it's listed and click Next.
If your device isn't listed, click "Have disk".
Click the Browse button to navigate to where the files for your device are located,
select the .inf file to install the driver and click Ok.
Follow the prompts to finish installing the driver and reboot if required when
finished.
