Just to fill you in: - A long time ago I started using a headset on my laptop Toshiba for online conferences. Sound worked fine for both the headset and the built-in speakers on the laptop. None of these have any warning icons next to them. I'm not sure if it's just checking my system or if it's checking the internet also.

So what options am I left with now? I need to do some work with videos, both watching them on Media Player and editing them in Movie Maker, and I keep being told that the "required audio hardware can not be found" and I can't use either application. Please re-post with the hardware ID of your Realtek speakers and I will diligently follow up with you! Although I accept your point, it seems that my point is still valid.

Namely that I only need one computer for internetbanking, the computer that I have rolled back is not suitable for Windows 7 or above and I would prefer not to have a plethora of operating systems. Simply because I upgrade my system every four years and I do not like throwing away something that is in good working order. Buying another Windows license is expensive and not really necessary. Using an old PC as a file server is in my opinion a useful way of using "old" hardware.

And the fact that the sound is not working is not really a problem but I like things to be in good working order, the reason why I turned to HP in the last place. The fact that this is an issue that has been known for a long time gives me the idea that some sort of solution or work around must be available. Simply stating that I should discard my old HP and buy a new one, with a new operating system is not acceptable for the above reasons. And if that solution is no longer available, tough on me.

Obviously there is only one way. And that is forward. But it proves an old adage: " Not all change is for the better". Didn't find what you were looking for?
