I had to reinstall my operating system. When I did this I lost my speaker
sound. It says no sound card detected, error 80040256. Does anybody know
how to fix this?

Is the audio built into the motherboard or do you have a separate soundcard?

When you reinstalled your operating system, did you go to the PC
manufacturer's website and download and install the audio drivers?

Try downloading and installing Everest Home from www.lavalys.com . Run
the program and look under the sound section. It will tell you what card
you have and where to get the drivers
