i reformat my pc and no sounds on it..i dont have my CD for my sound driver..and i dont know its name also...pls help me...

see attachments for my pc specs..

Go to the website of your motherboard or sound card manufacturer they should have the correct drivers.

well what i did is i downloaded a device scanner...they gave me the sound driver for my pc..and it came out as the realtek AC'97 Audio...

i downloaded it..still wont work...and on the device manger there is an error...(shown below)

This device cannot start. (Code 10)

---------------------------------------------

i tried to follow the troubleshooter but nothing really works...

Did you download this device scanner before or after trying to look for a driver for your particular set-up?

What is the name of this particular device scanner?

I assume that all the other drivers are working fine?

I imagine that the software may have picked up the particular chip on your sound card incorrectly, as you need the correct driver for a particular chip set.



Here is what the MS knowledge base has to say about the issue http://support.microsoft.com/kb/943104/

Try some of the steps listed in the above mentioned article if they don't resolve this issue then try this:

This programme should tells us what your set up is http://www.techspot.com/downloads/559-pc-wizard.html.

Save a report of what it finds as a .txt file and I'll have a look to see what drivers you need.

Hopefully I should be able to find the right driver so that you can make a backup cd of it/remember where to find it in case you ever encounter this problem again.

actually after trying to look for the device..that is the time that i downloaded the device scanner..hoping that it will help...

this are the information i got on the PC wizard...

***** End of report *****


thank you for trying to help me out...i really appreciated it

thank you for the link...but i notice that is the same file that i got from the driver scanner...and after i downloaded it..there is an error code 10..that can be seen on the device manager....can you please give me another kind of driver please

You may need to contact the manufacturer of your mobo/soundcard and ask them to email you the drivers, I would burn them to disk for future restores of windows. The same thing happened to me, I have an asus mobo with realtek audio and the only drivers that would work were on the mobos original disk, that i lost... :L just ask if you can get another disk sent to you,

Hope this helps,
