Hi, I know there's lotsa similar qns around and I've tried everything I could but am still confused why its not working. Any kind soul around who is able to help?

I don't know what happened to computer, the sound controller is perfectly fine until 2 days ago, There is no sound coming out from the speaker except the error beep sound -.-'' I know it has nothing to do with the speakers 'cos I've switched speakers and still I have no sound coming out.

Whenever I've restarted the comp, there'll be an icon that said it had discovered a new hardware and asked me to install it. But I have no audio CD to go with it... I have no idea whats the manufacturer of the sound card cos this is a DIY computer.

Under my 'Device Manager -> Sound, Video, Game Controllers', there is a yellow exclamation mark next to 'C-Media AC97 Audio Device'.

Below is an information of the system according to Belarc Advisor :

Hi thanks, but I've encountered a problem during installation...

A window popped up and states the software that I'm installing is not compatible with Microsoft XP and advised me not to continue with the installation. My question is, should I go ahead?

If I don't install this driver, what are the other compatible driver available for installation?

The audio problem is driving me crazy :\
 
Yes, you surely should go ahead.

And of course, turn off the pop-up from Windows, we will deal with it later.

After you install the driver, restart.

Now, right click on My Computer ----> Manage ----> Device Manager ----> Display Adapters ----> right click on the old driver and disable it. The windows warning pop-ups won't appear anymore.

Just NEVER install the thing Windows say you should in this problem. If you do, reinstall it.

No problem.

People helped me, I helped you, and you will help someone else in the same situation.
