How do I restore sound on this system?

I have a a Compaq Presario SR2037X that I got from a family member. I have only the system itself, no driver discs or anything. I put in a new HDD and graphics card, and I installed WIndows XP onto a clean drive.
Right off the bat, the system couldn't utilize any of the hardware on the board. I found most of the drivers at this page: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=228&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&sw_lang=&product=33033...
and installed them to restore most functionality.
The sound drivers required an additional driver for "HD Audio," which I found elsewhere. Yet when I then ran the driver-installer on that page for the audio, it unpacked a bunch of stuff and then closed, never even saying it was successfull in its installation. I was left with four or five identically-named audio devices showing up as unknown devices in the device manager, plus a few other unrecognized audio componants.
I next installed the drivers for my graphics card, (which is by nvidia, same as all the built-in fixin's on the MoBo,) and the drivers it installed *seemed* to fix those audio drivers, as now the device manager recognizes them ad Nvidia audio devices. (Once again, a list of four identically named devices in the device manager.)
However, I still have no sound. When I open up the "sounds and audio devices"-properties in the control panel, it simply says "No audio device" and has all the controls greyed out. Under the hardware tab it lists the nine sound controllers I can see in the device managerm and they all claim to be working properly.
I do not know where else to find proper drivers for this built-in sound card. (I found several sites I've never heard of before that offer updated drivers, but I don't trust them.) I do not know how to get the system to properly recognize and operate what it already has. I do still have the original hard drive available, and could copy files from it if I had knowledge of what exact files are needed. How do I get sound working on this system?

Hi:
I recommend you reinstall XP and load the drivers from scratch using the links I have provided below.
Chipset. Install first and reboot. That should also install the network card.
http://www.nvidia.com/object/nforce_winxp_15.26.html
Next, install the graphics driver and reboot.
http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp-285.58-whql-driver.html
Audio driver. Accept the agreement. Download and install the 6th one on the list (first one in green).
http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=24&PFid=24&Level=4&Conn=3&DownT...
If you installed an add on graphics card, you will need the drivers for that. If your add on graphics card has HDMI out, it disabled your onboard audio.
The fix is simple. Go into your BIOS. Look for the onboard audio setting. Change it from Auto to Enabled. Save the setting there and again when you exit the BIOS.
You should now have onboard audio.

Lost sound in some film clips when finishing project. Using iMovie 11, after adding music to photo section, could not get sound back in 2 film clips at end of movie. Beginning clips ok. How do I restore sound? Thx.

Everything in your project will be exported when you use the share menu.
If you want to export only half, I suggest that you
1) Select the project in the Project Library.
2) Click FILE/DUPLICATE PROJECT
3) Give the duplicate a name, like Project A snippet.
4) Open the duplicate project in the Project editor and delete the segments that you do not need.
5) Then Share.
You mentioned surrounding a portion of the clip you were editing in Yellow. Once you do this, you should right-click and then select either DELETE SELECTION, TRIM TO SELECTION, or one of the other options available. That is a key tool in editing.
You mentioned MPEG Streamclip. I agree that MPEG Streamclip is a great tool.

Only possible if you have stopped using your Mac so the file space doesn't get overwritten, and you use a date recovery company (expensive).

How can I stop sounds in this scenario

Hello, I need help.
I need to load in an external .swf file into my new movie and
stop the sound/music that is playing from the external swf file. I
need the sound/music to stop immediately on frame one. I don't have
the fla to the external swf file as it is years old. Can someone
help me with this? I know there is "stopallsounds();" but I don't
think I'm using it right because it won't stop the sound when I
play the new exported swf.
So to recap - I've loaded in a .swf on frame one (into a
blank movie clip) - and on another layer tried to add the
"stopallsounds();" action - music still plays - HELP!

Load the swf in movie clip holder and give it instance name
"someNameHere",
than use the sound object to define the instance name as
Sound Object's target
and use the regular volume control to mute it. By setting it
that way you control
the movie clip volume (holder mc) and anything within.
s = new Sound(someNameHere);
s.setVolume(0);
to play it back ON
s = new Sound(someNameHere);
s.setVolume(100);

How do I restore my Mac operating system after a botched uninstall of Bootcamp.

I completely botched up uninstall of Bootcamp.I wanted to uninstall and delete Windows 7 and re-do the operation. Bootcamp did not manage an uninstall and I got put back into a Widows install operation.Which won't re-install because it can't fiind a suitable hard disk. I have 4 sata harddrives installed, one contains the Mac OSX system files, one a Timemachine backup and one the Windows system.Other is data.
I have a boot USB. None of the startup keys (Press C during startup,Shift key, Cmd R ete) will respond.The machine just behaves like it has a windows BIOS and won't allow any way to see any of the Mac files.Nor will it accept any HD to try a reload of windows. I've tried replacing the data drive with a spare formatted for NTFS, but the Windows setup file won't proceed far enough to enable this to be tried. Any help. I just want to get back to running OSX again.

Have you tried press and holding the option/alt key while starting up so as to get the startup manager screen. I think you have too many drives attached for Boot Camp to install. Are these on the MacBook Pro you have listed?

TS5150 How can I restore sound to video content streamed to my apple tv? Used to have sound but now do not.

I have no sound when I stream videos to my apple tv. That is a problem when trying to stream concerts or anything. I downloaded the latest updates, but no change. I used to be able to do this no problem. Anyone have any suggestions? I followed the apple support trouble shooting guidance but it did not help any.

Check Sky's website - I believe they prevent the video streaming in the app (as do several other companies, possibly due to rights issues beyond logic).

Restoring Sound

My husband and I connected my Mac Book to our Samsung HDTV. We connected a non-apple audio output to the MB audio outlet. No sound was output. Once I disconnected the audio plug the internal speakers do not appear in the list for the sound output menu from the systems preferences. I can only hear sound if I plug in my headphones. After I disconnect the head phones there is a red light from the MB Audio port. How can I restore sound to my MB from the built-in external speakers?

So If I can hear with my earphones plugged in and it makes the sound at start up do you still think it is defective?
Yes, do a search on this forum for "audio red light".
Also, the end of your headphones has a plug on it, not a jack. It can be more specifically called a jack plug but it is a plug, to tell what kind of plug it is. The hole in the side of your MacBook is an audio output jack. It also has an audio input jack on its side.
Many people use jack and plug incorrectly but it makes it very hard to understand what is being talked about. Try going to any online store that sells electronic hardware and you will find the proper definitions used by the industry.

How do I restore my missing APP to my desktop?

I must have accidentially deleted my APP store on my I Phone, It's in the Settings though. How do I restore it? This has been bothersome for quite some time and i'm unable to transfer any new apps from I tunes onto my Phone. I've tried reading throught the user guide but it's not sinking in. I've reset my phone, done updates, etc. Spent hours on the phone w/ Apple support too, and nothing helped. Any help would be appreciated. Thx.

what if my i can't remember the Restrictions passcode and I've attempted too many times? I'm pretty sure the Restrictions is why I can't load pictures onto facebook or anything else.

When I go "system preferences" "sound" There is no option to activate the internal speakers. How do I restore it?

When I go "system preferences" "sound" There is no option to activate the internal speakers. How do I restore it?

Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried.
1. Start with the steps recommended in this support article.
2. If your model has an audio-out (headphone) port, and a red light is coming from it, the internal switch is stuck in the position for digital output. You may be able to free it by inserting and removing a mini-stereo jack of the proper size. Inserting any kind of tool in the port may cause damage that won't be covered by your warranty.
If there's no red light, the switch may still be stuck in the headphone position. Try to free it the same way.
3. Disconnect all wired peripherals except keyboard and mouse, if applicable. If more than one display is connected, disconnect all extra ones.
4. Boot in safe mode. Don't log in; just reboot as usual when the login screen appears. When you do, make sure the words "Safe Boot" do not appear in the login screen. If they do, the system is still in safe mode and sound won't work.
5. Reset the NVRAM.
6. Reset the SMC.
7. Reinstall OS X after backing up all data.
8. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store.

I backed up my bookmarks to an external drive, rebuilt my system, and now when I try to restore from that file, I get "unsupported file type" How can I restore from this file?

I backed up my bookmarks to an external drive, rebuilt my system, and now when I try to restore from that file, I get "unsupported file type" How can I restore from this file?

Make sure that the backup file with the bookmarks has the correct file extension: .html for a HTML backup and .json for a JSON backup. 
You can check that via the right-click context menu of that file and open the Properties. 
If you are not sure about the file type then you can open the file in Firefox via "File > Open File" 
A JSON backup will show as one long text line without line breaks and a HTML backup as a web page with clickable links. 
A JSON backup starts with: {"title":"","id":1,"dateAdded": 
An HTML backup starts with: <nowiki><!DOCTYPE NETSCAPE-Bookmark-file-1></nowiki>
You may need to add quotes ("") around the name to rename the file to the correct file extension.
