After so many weeks of trying to figure out why there was no sound from my laptop, I came across a website that mentioned upgrading of SP2 to SP3 messing up your audio.
What we require to do in Windows XP, is to add support for High Definition Audio by installing the Universal Audio Architecture (UAA) High Definition Audio class driver. This is the KB888111 (for SP1 or SP2). The downside is that when attempting to install the KB888111 (which seems to work ONLY for SP1 and SP2) it will not work for SP3, at least for the current SP3 RC v3264 and you will be prompted with a message saying that the current service pack installed is newer than the fix you are trying to apply.
Luckily, there is a fix for going round the problem that works for SP3. Just download the fix for KB888111 , extract it and then right-click at the ? mark at the device manager that you think might be the Audio device, reinstall the driver by pointing to the folder you extracted the files to. After that's done, install the audio driver for your motherboard.
That's it!
