The problem lies in Windooze XP, Use a program called VDMSound to get it working.
Can't remember the exact link, but I'm sure one of the generous people here will give it to you.

1) Don't you mean EXTERNAL? ::)
2) Reinstall your sound drivers, that should help.

Uh... no. Apparently, you have one of them internet connections, so I'd suggest going to the website of the card manufacturer. Download the latest driver and run its installation program. That should take care of your problem.

1) Turn off your pc.
2) Pull out all the cables.
3) Open your computer.
4) Look at the soundcard.
5) Find the manufacturer and the card's name/model.
6) Write it down.
7) Close your computer.
8) Put all the cables back in.
10) Turn on your pc.
11) Start internet.
12) Start Google.
13) Look for the card, the manufacturer and look for a download of their latest driver.
