Hi Bookworm...new user here, hoping you might be able to assist.

I have a Sony PCV-RZ16G desktop...old, but fairly robust.

1.5 Gig RAM

2.66 MHz Processor

SoundMax Integrated Audio Controller....

And it used to be Windows XP SP2.

Upgraded to Vista, and no audio at all. Says "No audio output device is installed."

I think the older SoundMax might be just tooooooo old for Vista...couldn't find any driver updates on the web.

Question: do drivers for the SoundMax for Vista exist?

Or...should I just go buy a sound card? And if I do, will that work? Or is there something intrinsically out-of-date here, that will prevent this 2002 machine from ever accepting Vista in correct form?

Thanks for your help...I really appreciate it.

Hi Bookworm, you have helped so many people on this forum so I now have renewed hope that you can help me to!!. I did a system recovery which killed my computer so had to reinstall windows xp but lost my graphics and sound. Got the graphics from the hp site no worries but there is nothing for sound. Tried downloading the realtec ac97 drivers and that moved my multimedia audio controller from other devices with ? & ! to sound,video & game controllers with just an !. When you check the properties it says the drivers are not installed(code 28) so I did reinstall drivers and it starts to do something and then my computer restarts about 5 secs later!. Help me please!!!
My specs are:

P.S. I also downloaded the drivers from driver.com that you recommended to someone else and it is a sys file and set up information but I'm not sure how to get it to do anything?!
Many Thanks
Pnut

I went to the website you reffered me to and even though it wasn't the sound driver u recommended that fixed it, i got a different sound driver from that website thats working now..Thank you

Also, i'm sure this is another problem but when i try to watch an avi file on windows media player, all i get are just graphics but the sound works, just not the video showing.. Once again i appreciate what you've done.
