    WARNING! hp mini 1000

    Ha! fixed it..sorta I installed windows 7 beta and the sound is VASTLY improved. I am thinking it was the driver that got put with it because win7 w/o a driver from hp just a generic sounds way better. So when its time to reinstall xp it goes on with no driver! See some times beta is beeta
