[caution_]

Unistall and reinstall the xp drivers.

If you see that the sound solution seems ok on the XP's device manager, play with the "recording devices" (right click on the tray speaker) to choose where to record from.

Cheers

thx but reinstalling doesnt help:\ there is only realtek hd audio input and output and these cant be changed.

Weird, those Realtek Azalia used to work allright on Xp... is there a AC97 / HD Audio option in the BIOS? Have you tried switching between them?
