Audio Drivers?

[Maztinho]

So my friend built me my computer, but recently I had to wipe everything off it, and go basically back to Windows XP after my system wouldn't boot properly, in this wiping my audio driver went bye bye.

 

I have a good video card, and I can watch things on-line, but there is no sound. I have an ATI card of some kind (I can run World of Warcraft easily if that is of any help...). I don't know if my friend brought over something and loaded the audio driver, or if he had me find it later.

 

Is there a place on-line that I can find a free audio driver? Or am I going to just search down a long lost acquaintance to come over and fix it so I can hear.

 

Me and sound problems, I'll tell you.

Do you know which sound card you have? If you don't, ask your friend. Most likely it's a Creative sound card and the drivers can be downloaded at www.creative.com.

Haha!

 

My friend made me a copy of the driver install that I needed, he just misnamed it. Everythings kosher now.

 

Gracias.

I totally thought this thread was about something else.

I have a problem similar to this. I've went through three sets of speakers in the last few months, and all of them ultimately stop working after a few days. Then sometimes they work, then don't. I go to sounds and devices in the control panel and then it says there are no audio drivers. This has happened numerous times and I really have no clue of what to do. I just bought new speakers Saturday and they were working fine until an hour ago.

What's your operating system and sound card? Also, are you sure that your speaking are plugged into the right input?
