My sound is not working after reformat?

Question

Can someone help me to get my sound working after reformating my comp?? i got everythign else working except my sound..

and I dont have a clue what sound card driver i have to download?? what should i do?

Answer 1

try running belarc to get an inventory of the computer hardware.  Actually, I'm not certain it will pick up the hardware without the drivers being loaded but it is worth a try and certainly won't hurt anything.

If it works, you will know what sound hardware you have and you can proceed with a visit to the manufacturer's web site and download drivers.

It it may be necessary to research what mother board you have if the above doesn't work out.   Find out what motherboard you have and then find and download the driver package for it.
