1984 Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 Hey guys, I did a reinstall of my mother in laws desktop (it was a total mess) and I can't seem to get the sound working. I used the OEM windows disk, everything set up fine and such, but it doesn't seem to be recognizing the sound card and/or finding the drivers. I did back up all drivers so i have em, but don't know which driver (there are a ton) should be installed, or how to do it. Question. Which program out there would help me find out the sound card type, and then how to find which sound drivers I need? I think i am close, but so far not a go..... Thanks guys!

davey Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 Thanks guys! Hi 1984, You sound tired.Anyhow, Belarc of course. http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html Run it and Click on Manufacturer support in System Model on the right. Then you can get System original and current configuration from the manufacturer. You can probably download the latest recommended driver from there. The PC manufacturer has always given me what I need. No hunting needed. Good luck, davey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoKenny Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 Is it built in sound on the motherboard or a separate sound adapter? If it is built in sound then it could be Realtek AC97: http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downlo...mp;DownTypeID=3 What is the model no. of the motherboard?
