    Hello everyone, this is my first post, my friend told me about the site and I figured I give it a shot and see if someone one here can help me solve my problem. As you know my computer cam with vista, and I could not get used to it, my computer felt like it ran so slow so I went back to XP. I got everything working except the damn sound. All the drivers for everything else I got to work, but I cannot find to correct driver for the sound card. Is there a way I can keep xp and get the sound to work, I really do not want to go back to vista. The computer runs a million times faster now that I am using xp, I just can hear anything!!! I am willing to get an external soundcard if it has to come to that, and if it does, what should I get? But I would rather use the internal soundcard.

    All help is greatly appreciated!!

    Thanks

    Search is your friend! Use the search box at the top of the page here and type "FZ XP SPEAKER" or "FZ XP AUDIO" or "FZ XP HEADPHONE" (without the quotes of course). The drivers are available. Once you install them though the speakers will ALWAYS be on even with headphones plugged in. But that can be fixed too. All you need to do is search a bit. The answers are here.
