Solved!
Go to SolutionMultimedia Audio Controller Driver
I changed my windows to Linux and changed back because Linux wasn't working how I expected it to. Ever since I changed back, my audio hasn't been working and I've tried all sorts of ways to change it by looking on forums and such but none of the threads helped. Please help!

Hi Ayyoroo,
If the audio drivers are not installed after installing Windows audio would not work in the computer. I request you to provide the following information to assist you better:
- What is the computer model?
- Windows version installed in the computer?
- In Device Manager, please check if there is any exclamation symbol under Other Devices.
- To go to Device Manager, press “Windows + R” to launch the run window.
- In run dialog box type in “devmgmt.msc”. Press enter.
Please reply with the requested information.

Hi Ayyoroo,
Download and Install the Audio Drivers and check if you are able to hear the sound.
Download and Install the Network Drivers and check.
Perform the above mentioned steps and post the results.

Follow my wiki A Clean Install of Windows XP in my wiki Windows Reinstallation Guide:
http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/software-os/f/3524/t/19480753.aspx
Pay particular attention to Driver Installation order. Incorrect installation of the drivers often causes audio issues with Windows XP.
I was getting help by DELL-Madhur-B about my sounds and he's helped me to where my audio says "SoundMAX Digital Audio" instead of it saying No Audio Devices but I still don't have sound. He told me to download and install a Network Driver, I've done that but it won't work, restarted my computer and such. Help please!

8. Verify that A: is entered in the Copy manufacturer’s files from box or use the Browse button to point to the directory the driver was extracted to. (i.e. c:\dell\drivers\….)
9. Click OK to install the driver.
10. Verify that Intel® PRO/100 M Network Connection or Intel® PRO/100 VE Network Connection is highlighted.
11. Click Next, click Finish
These steps cannot be continued because I tried to do step 8 and it says "The specified location does not contain information about your hardware". But on the bright side, I checked my "Sounds and Audio Devices" and it says "SoundMAX Digital Audio".
