Describe your Problemam running Windows XP Home Edition with Service Pack 2. I can receive sound from iTunes and Windows Media Player, aswell as games, but i can't hear any sound from th internet. So if i try to watch a video on youtube or something i can see the video perfectly but there is no sound. This is strange because i can receive sound from anywhere but the internet. I use Firefox but Internet Explorer doesn't get any either. My volume is all set full and none are on mute, i've tried restarting my browser. My speaker are on full volume and plugged in correctly. Does anyone know how i can fix this problem?

Update the media player to the newest version.
When media players go through upgrades, new codecs are often added to the player along with new features.
These new codecs give the player an ability to play videos in additional formats.
Download and install a codec pack for your computer-based media player from a codec website, like Free-Codecs.

See Below
http://www.free-codecs.com/download/k_lite_codec_pack.htm
The K-Lite Codec Pack, for instance, contains multiple codecs and works with multiple media players, which gives all of the media players that are installed on your system the capability to play any video file that uses those codecs.
Once you download a codec pack, go to the "Downloads" folder on your computer, right-click the codec pack and choose "Extract All" to extract the codecs and move the codecs into a folder on your "C:" drive.
The codecs integrate into your computer-based media players automatically.


Get a new player. If you have updated your player and installed all of the available codecs, and video still won't play in the player, the player may just not have the necessary components to play your video files.
Download and install a new player, such as Winamp or the VLC Player, to your system.

Personal Media Players
Find out which video formats your media player accepts.
This information should be provided in the user's guide that came with your player. iPod, for instance, accepts video only in the M4V, MP4 and MOV formats, according to the Apple website.


Convert the video file to a format supported by your personal media player in an online conversion system.
Some online systems that can make video conversions include Movavi Online Convert and YouConvertIt.


Remove the original video file from the media player using the player's software, such as iTunes for iPod devices.
Then, add the new video file to the software library and drag the new file to the device.
Once the video is in the correct format, the codecs in the media player should read the converted video file.

iTunes song have DRM protection, you have to remove DRM from iTunes and convert M4a to MP3.

Maybe IBM have some drivers but as XP is obsolete, they may not.

Operating Systems as supplied from new.
Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit
Microsoft Windows Vista Business 32-bit and 64-bit
Microsoft Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit
Microsoft Windows XP Tablet Edition 2005

Are you using XP Tablet Edition as that edition has the drivers for the features?

This sounds like a downgrade and I strongly reccomend against that. the hardware is the issue, new hardware cannot be run by older OS. It is the drivers that would kill you. New OS work fine.

please use fresh xp pack bootble cd

Have you checked your BIOS for a memory check? A bad address in the RAM can cause these kinds of problems.

First be sure that you are running windows XP tablet edition, then download the drivers from motion computing. This is the link:

If you are running windows XP regular not Tablet PC edition it is not going to work, toush pad and buttons only work on tablet edition.

This solve the problem.

Have you tried a new battery in the stylus? They require AAAA size batteries. The first time my pen went out I thought it was the computer not responding, but it turned out to be a dead stylus battery.

hey hey chill...simple my friend just have your windows service pack with you inhand.Turn your Laptop on immidiately when your CD-ROM/DVD-ROM starts flashing its light, open it then insert your service pack disc (its the CD/DVD you receive when purchacing the laptop) then let it restart again...then again when it starts press F8 repeatedly until you enter a some menu then re-install the Windows Xp again from the disc and walla your Pc will be fresh again...

If you are able to hear sound while starting PC issue is not with sound card. that is installed and working properly. If you are clicking on any file that is not playing then window media player is not supporting that file. If you are directly opening window media player from start>>Program>>access>>>>window player and it is giving error. It mean that your player is corrupted. You can upgrade that with higher version of player by going this link. www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/9series/player.aspx
