I don't see any playback devices in Windows XP.
I've done my research on it but still no luck. I have seen and tried this solution:
- Click on Start and Run
Type the following command and press Enter
services.msc
Scroll down to Windows Audio in the right-hand column and
double-click on it,Make sure the Startup Type is set to Automatic and click on the
Start button under Service Status. The Windows Audio service should
restart and the error with the volume control should be resolved.
… but it doesn't work for me.
Could it be that my PC has no sound card?
I also check my device manager list and here is what I've found:
- Audio Codecs
- Legacy Audio Drivers
- Media Control Device
- Legacy Video Capture Devices
- Video Codecs
Is there something missing?

Consult information about your motherboard, and ideally:
It looks like Windows XP doesn't have drivers to support your particular playback devices.
I have had this issue on older laptops moving them to Vista and Windows 7.
