WINXP SP2,lost MultiMedia Audio Controller

I lost to-day the Multimedia Audio Controller. When Winxp starts up it wants
to install it, but cannot find what it needs.

I then inserted the WindowsXP CD disk and thought and hoped it would find
the proper files or folder there. No luck.

Then I tried to install it from the WINXP disk myself and selected (it was
now blue in color) the MultiMedia Controller.

But even that did not work. When I go to Settings it sees no Audio device.

What is the step or are the steps I must take to regain my audio?

I use WinXP, SP #2, and AMD Duo 4200+ HP desktop.

Thats more commonly on the motherboard CD.

Its likely downloadable from HP.
