Like the many other threads my sound isn't working after I formatted windows xp home edition 2002 onto my acer aspire. ( I had this problem the last time I formatted this computer and forgot what file I used.)
I need the driver for my soundcard. I've already tried one driver which was called the realtec AC'97 driver and now I get an explanation mark next to it. (I'm guessing because its the wrong one) and I didn't set a system restore point so I no longer see the other devices drop down menu with multimedia audio controller and the video thing which had question marks and explanation marks. I have tried a few drivers with failed attempts at installing them. I've currently got a driver off the acer website which my computer won't reconise in add hardware so I'm not sure what to do with that one.
Heres my results from belarc:

I think thats all the information needed. I'd appreciate all help given.
And please help me Bookworm, you seem to be helping everyone else with the same problem. |
Acer and ECS the board both show C-Media as the audio driver, the problem is getting Windows to recognise this driver. You have to tell Windows which driver it has to install, and the best explanation of how to do this is here

go to Windows Problems & Solutions- look at donald92ducks post, DB-Rocket gives a solution.
Hope this helps
