    Hello,
    I have a Acer Travelmate 5320 with Vista preinstalled, since the computer were very slow I decided to install XP.
    I used nLite to burn satadrivers and everything worked fine.

    Now to the problem I can't get XP to find my soundcard, I have tried the drivers from Acers supportsite but the problem is that I have no soundcard.
    I have tried to install "chipset_inte965_v8.2.0.1012.zip" but no change.
    Is there a newer chipsetdriver?

    I installed the sounddrivers before i installed the chipset and then i uninstalled soundcarddrivers and reinstalled but didnt work.

    Have tried every single one of alla soundrivers (almost)

    Does anyone have any ideas that could help?

    Usually you are supposed to install the chipset drivers first before any other driver as the chipset driver is need to allow the computer to detect the other devices connected to the mainboard. However once you install the driver the soundcard should have been found. Are you sure you are using the realtek driver for XP and not vista? There is vista driver and an XP driver.

    What you can do is go to realtek here and download the latest XP driver and install it, and see if it helps.

    Yes I use XP drivers.
    The problem is that I dont find any soundcard in my Device Manager.
    I'm going :eek , is there any kind of driver I need to install for XP to find my soundcard in Device Manager? I don't think there will be any problem of installing drivers later on... But there is no sign of a soundcard in the computer but, well i know there are (since it worked in vista).
