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 https://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,
