No audio device, WTF?!?!? Options

[FireCrossedAngel]

Okay...now that I painfully managed to install windows xp after like, 5 hours, I have yet another terrible problem. My stupid a$$ computer is telling me that I dont have an audio device I'm just like, what in the effin hell???! My goddamned pc has speakers installed INSIDE the monitor and yet this son of a b@stard is tellin me this?? Seriously! I tried going to the add/remove hardware thing but when I try to install the Multimedia Audio Controller (which I think is the problem...maybe not) it wont install because it cant find any necessary software for it...bleh! and there isnt any cd for installing the audio device from the company since its made inside the monitor, sheesh! The pc is supposed to detect it and download it right away, correct?? *sniffles* then why doesn't mine... I have a sound card and everything, and earlier today when I had windows 2000 everything was workin just fine!! How could this happen? And I dont think it was Windows XP's fault when I installed it...

Have you tried googleing for your drivers? Or maybe checking the Compaq site, that'll normally help, but I'm surprised that your comp didn't come with windows XP since if your comp came with an LCD then it must be fairly new.
