The driver installation is the first thing to check. Go to My Computer, right click and select Manage > Sound, Video and Games > if the your sound card appears to be installed, right click it and select Uninstall > restart the computer > wait a minute and check the audio... if nothing, check Control Panel > Sound and Audio Devices > Volume tab > Check if the main volume slider is grayed out or if the "Silence" checkbox is unchecked... also check all the volume controls within Sound and Audio Devices including the Advanced Properties.
If all volume setting sliders are set right and if no sound comes out as you move the volume sliders to the right or up, go to the link page and download the "Hardware Vendor Detection Utility".. it should detect Windows XP and direct you to the appropriate driver download link.
