Could it be possible... An Awesome Mega Ultimate Driver Software?

[AxDSan92]

Hey guys! I got this laptop of mines and longtime ago I gave it to my mom, now after some months the laptop came breaking down ("softwarely" speaking), and it got some virus, and worms so she told me if I could help her, so I did and I had to re-format it a whole, and after some use and some other re-formats, lastly I ended up installing Windows XP on it.

The thing is that the other day I sat for hours trying to install Sound Drivers to the laptop, and none of them worked, I installed like, jokes apart, 15 ~ 20, none of them worked, I tried searching for universal sound win xp drivers, nothing... generic win xp drivers... nothing, I tried and tried and nothing...

So ultimately I came here so if someone else who is more experienced in this kind of troubleshooting could help me out, and finally get those sound drivers installed on her laptop, because she really needs it.

So is there any like... these kind of "Driver Ultimate Agent" named thingy softwares, around that truly works? or if someone could help me out by giving one driver that you know it will truly work I will be eternally grateful.

Laptop Specs:

Lenovo G555
Windows XP

MoBo: Unknown (Other parts are unknown for me too.)

Normally you'd first, check the manufacturer's website if they have XP audio drivers. I just checked and I couldn't find sound drivers for XP. They had them for widnows 7 though. What OS did the laptop originally come with? (why not install the original OS?)

There are software that help to detect and install drivers. DriverMax, SlimDrivers, and DriverPack Solution all help to do this. Otherwise, speccy by Puriform gives hardware detail and may help you locate the hardware on your laptop (from there to find drivers).

Other options include an external sound cards that you could plug headphones. Otherwise, a notebook soundbar (goes atop of the screen) and is USB powered. You could also try a linux distribution as they normally have kernel support for hardware, especially since the laptop is older. It requires a bit more of a learning curve though and doesn't natively run widnows software.
