Sound Card Problems

[nocturnal]

I recently formatted and reinstalled WinXP Pro and all the drivers have been installed correctly except multimedia audio controller. I've tried letting it find it's own driver on the internet with no success. Does anybody know of some generic driver that'll work for my sound card. If not, neone know of a program that i can download that can id my hardware so i can figure out the name of my sound card. I received this computer from my uncle and he doesn't have the mobo manual anymore, the soundcard is onboard so if i knew the name of my mobo would just type that in a soundcard at driverfiles.net? Tnx for any kind of help

also sort of random but are you guys (well Realbot and PodBot) going to cont. supporting 1.5?

Cannot speak for Stefan (the father of Realbot) and for Josh (who joined the Realbot pack) but I'll for sure as I'm still running 1.5 at home.

I think at least you need to know the mobo brand. Go here http://www.cpuid.com/pcw.php to download a PC Wizard and find it out. And then you can go to the company of the mobo to get the driver.

If it is onboard sound then find out what brand it is, if it is an ASUS board it is probly AC97 or something like that if it is a like a Pre built machine from like dell it will be on the CD's they provide. If you can't find the CD's try there website. Every place will have drivers for there stuff on their websites

Else boot a UNIX kernel (the OpenBSD boot disk for example) on your machine and let it identify the sound card for you (the PCI PnP string will be displayed). It'll tell you what sort of chip it is.

Or you can have a look at a tool that's called AIDA32
