Hi!
I have an old PC and GPU doesn't work as it should so I have to use PC in safe mode.
Problem is I have no sound.
I was wondering because I saw some videos and forum topics but I never saw actual XP fix (I know i shouldn't call it that way but for me it represents only a problem).
There are some tricks in registry using regedit command but XP doesn't have Driver key option in sound device properties so i cant use registry thing. Is there any other way?
 
If your GPU works in safe mode only its quite likely a driver problem. I would reinstall the drivers first. I wouldn't consider running safe mode a good option for anything other than well, fixing stuff.

If you go into device manager do you see any checkmarks/exclamation points/red "X"s/etc under audio/video?
