Can You Hear Me Now?

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Now then Heartlanders, I've just got my machine back after a brutal format and reinstall after some nasty visitors sneaked onboard.

Seeings as this machine was second-hand, and unwiped from start, I was playing with fire from the beginning anyway! Now she's back in my possession, I've found out the Sound Card onboard hasn't re-installed, and I have no clue what it is. Windows Update, no go, I've got nothing, nada, zip, zilch. If any of the propellorheads out there can recommend how to track down the drivers for an unknown card, I'd be incredibly impressed and grateful!

Cheers!

I don't know about that, but I think Belarc Advisor will identify the card for you (and if not, it's still sort of handy to have around anyway).

Belarc is a good call - other than that, open the machine up and google the manufacturers references on the card itself assuming it is an external card and not part of the on board chip set...

If it's the on- board sound chip, you could try to look in BIOS and see if it's switched off there. If it is, switch it back on, save and exit to reboot and Bob's your uncle...

Cheers to CellThree, AIDA was legendary and helped me track down the RealTek AC97 controller I needed. Cheers also to Zuma, Sultan, and Ahráyeph for lending a hand!

No cheers to Weebles, Boudicca, and James, and Izzy for setting him up :twisted: :P

Sound! :notworthy:
