Default [Pending] no sound on XP

hello, this is my first time using this forum so forgive me if I do anything wrong =]
Ive recently brought a computr with windows XP in full working order, however the sound driver does not work. On the driver list it has " Multimedia audio device" with an exclimation mark. i have tried everything and researched this for a few days. Please help, thankyou.

Can you double click "Multimedia audio device" and give us the information? (It should provide some sort of error in the text box)

Thanks

It looks as though the drivers for the sound card are already installed but we can sort it out [hopefully].

Just one more bit of info I need, is it a home built PC or is it made by an OEM such as HP or Dell? If OEM do you know the model number?
