PC sound all gone :-(
muddyjames:
Once upon a time my sound card died and a very kind MC member sent me a new sound card with a cd with the driver on it for me which I am very grateful for.
Then one day the very grateful MC member (me) moved house and then needed to reload his computer after the hard drive failed again and multiple virusses.
Now my computer has been rebuilt again I have lost the cd for the sound card :(
The grateful MC member has no idea on how to find out what sound card he has to down load the files from somewhere on the net so he calls upon fellow members to help him out with thier knowledge.
He thanks everyone in advance
The end

Take the side off of your PC and look for a name on the sound card. Might even have a part number or model then try looking on www.driverguide.com

or you could download a program called aida32 which will tell you precisely what it is and where to get the driver from without using such places as driverguide.com which has spyware and crap embedded into it lol

On your desk top, right click on 'my computer' then on 'properties'. This brings up a window that has several tabs on it, one of which is hardware. Click on that and find the sound card on the list. Clicking on that or double clicking will bring up the details and an option to update the driver.

Unfortunately that won't help If he don't have the drivers disk or know what sound card he has.
Probably the easiest solution is to go to a local computer shop and buy a new sound card. They need not be very expensive and really easy to install.
