After reinstalling windows (Windows XP Pro) on my computer, i noticed my sound icon didnt show up so i went and open the volume control and the message indicated that there was no sound mixers installed. I also noticed when i opened device manager that there was a yellow icon right beside my sound driver ( C-MEDIA AC97 Audio Device). I tryed uninstalling and reinstalling the driver but it still done the same thing. I tried reseating the sound card and reinstalling the drivers, but nothing. I also tried installing a different sound driver but during the installation, the computer resets before it finishes. I installed ubuntu on the computer and the sound worked fine, i put windows (Windows Xp Pro) it doesn't work. Does anybody have any idea on what the problem could be?
