More help with my sound card?

Question

I was looking for drivers yesterday that were compatible with my sound card. I found out the make of my sound card and found the drivers from the website. The trouble I am now having, is when I use these drivers, the bloody computer says there is no sound card device installed on the computer. Well, there is. It is asking me to install it using the CD that came with the sound card - trouble is, I don't have that as it is the standard sound card that came already in the PC. Is there anywhere on line I can find this software?

I have a Dell and it is a Sound Blaster Live! sound card

Answer 1

Answer 2

Sound blaster is only a utilitiy, you need to install the audio driver for your computers sound card...enter dxdiag into the run commands and see what the name of your sound card is
