Where's my sound driver gone

[Fuzz]

Nothing changed on the PC recently yet come to put on a youtube video and no dam sound.. WTF
It unes didn't work, nor did media player, lawd knows where the driver has sneaked off for a quiet kip too.

Ended up just powering down last night having got no where.
I think maybe a XP "repair" may be in order as I can't find a way to update an non existent driver

For reference it's an onboard sound card in the Intel Bad axe Mobo.

Oh deep joy....

Got round to doing a "repair existing XP install" off the OS disc tonight and now I have a pc that wont get past the XP splash screen and just keeps restarting.

I hear an incoming nuke from somewhere outside the atmosphere on it's way, I'm sure.
