Sound Card Help

[Andy88]

Hi, I need to install my sound card but I don’t have a clue what it is.
I can’t find my disk, which I think, has it. I have opened up the PC to look for its manufacture details but had no luck.
Sounds dumb but, is there any way I can install it without knowing what it is? :confused:
Please if you reply explain in detail what I need to do as I’m not very good with PC’s.

Many thanks.

Are you talking about installing drivers for on-board sound ? If you are and have lost the disc that came with the motherboard; you will need to determine the brand and model of motherboard. Then go to the manufactures web site and download drivers from there.

I got Everest, looked around and found this: PCI Devices (http://upload.lhurgoyf.net/gal/Soma/PCI%20Devices.jpg) Is that any help?

The sound card is an actuall hardware device, You can hold it in your hand Like a proccesor chip, or RAM chip, It can not be on a disk.

Unless you are talking about drivers, which are on a disk.

Now what exactly are you trying to do? Hook up the Sound CARD into computer? or install drivers for it to function?

I meant install drivers, sorry.

Without knowing your exact motherboard model, it's hard to tell, but you might be able to find audio drivers somewhere in here: http://www.aliusa.com/eng/product/corelogic/m1647.htm

Proplem sorted :) !
A friend told me to get this file: http://www.ecsusa.com/downloads/driver/sound/m5451w9xme2k.zip
Which solved my problem, thanks for all who replied with suggestions :D

Glad you got it sorted out. I probably could have pointed you in the right direction from the get-go if I had known your mainboard brand and model, but at least you got it working. :)
