I've read so many posts all with the same problem as this. I have the problem too, and I have tried downloading many drivers as I am uncertain which one I need. But I've tried loads and downloaded them and everything, and they are still not working; it still says there is not the correct software when i try to install my sound card.
Hmmmm, I don't know. Help please?
EDIT: Also, I'm pretty sure I accidently deleted SoundMAX because I swear I had it before and now I don't, so I assume that's the fault. While trying out some things suggested on other posts, I stumbled across a driver on my computer called "VIA AC'97 Audio Controller (WDM)" and I thought it was worht a try, so I used that instead of SoundMAX. I was amazed when this seemed to fix the problem, sound and audio devices were detected, the annoying beep from my computer had disappeared, everything seemed to be running smoothly again and I no longer got an error message on WinMediaPlayer. But I still had no sound. And yes I did check the volume and mute, and my speakers are plugged in. Hufff.
