Gateway Parts

I have no sound on my GateWay MT6840H notebook Laptop?

this is a hold laptop about 2 years old (i consider it old) but the problem was that the hard disk went out sometime ago and so my mom bought a brand new computer (laptop) and said i could have this one if i could fix it so i did for the most part but when i did a fresh install of windows XP home edition i windows says i don't have a sound device installed which is funny because this laptop had sound before i don't even know where to begin i thought the sound device was built into the motherboard it even says i don't have a video device just a generic one?? also are speakers considered an audio device?

1. You are missing drivers. http://support.gateway.com/support/drivers/search.asp?st=pn&param=1014596R
2. It seems as if you need to install the drivers for your devices. Go to: http://www.gateway.com/ca/downloads.php Input your computer make and the operating system. Locate the audio driver. Download and install. Should be that easy. Good luck.
3. You may need to reinstall audio drivers for your notebook. Visit the below weblink for more information on how to reinstall audio drivers: http://notebook-solutions.blogspot.com/2009/07/how-to-uninstall-and-reinstall-audio.html
