I just re-installed windows and my audio isn't working!

I think the problem Is that I used my laptop windows disk to re-install on my desktop. Now when I go to control panel -> sounds and audio device properties it says 'No audio Device' under the volume tab and almost everything else is grayed out.

You don't have the correct audio drivers loaded for your hardware. You need to download them from the manufacturer's website and install them.

Sorry I really suck. How do I check what sort of hardware I have and which drivers I need?

Do you know the model number of your desktop?
