I don't usually post to forums, but I just wanted to say THANK YOU to everyone for your efforts.  I have SOUND in xp on my p105-s9337.  The driver farmdog_2007 linked, plus the steps written down by kwin73 WORKED!!!  I bought the laptop for "gaming"....and my frames per second were so unstable in Vista...I decided I'd rather play soundless in XP than deal with that.  But now I don't have to.  So--thanks again.  big_smile
