Re: Sound



Here is the issue:
other devices all of these have a yellow ? mark
Ethernet
Multimedia Audio Controller
SMS bus controller
Universal Serial
Video controller



The yellow question marks mean that the proper software drivers need to be
installed. Do you have any of the original disks that came with this
computer?

If it was working before, then you should not need to buy one. Can you
post
the belarc output? At least the System Model, Main circiut board, and
Multimedia section outputs?

If you right-click on My Computer, and choose "Manage", and then click on
the Device Manager node, are there any devices showing a yellow
exclamation
point?

Thanks I found out that there is no multimedia on my computer I guess
that
is
no sound card, I believe with my poor knowledge that I have to buy
one,
but
I had sound working until I reinstalled the XP windows. Can I install
the
card myself ?
Thank you for your info, I went to the Belarc advisor website and
downloaded
and now I know all the information regarding my computer. Once more
thanks.

sound card. Could someone help and if I need a sound card could
someone direct me how to establish on getting one. I am new at
this computer fixing thing but I learn quick.
Thanks to everyone who will help in advance.

Go to the manufacturer's web page for the sound device, download their
latest driver, install it.

You must know what sound card you have. Look on your receipt/invoice
for
the computer - ask the people you bought the system from, open it up
and
look, etc.

There are applications out there that can identify what hardware you
have,
but I think they all depend on a properly installed system - as I
think
they
pull the information from the registry. Perhaps they do not - so I
will
recommend you try one..

Once you know what you have, what next? Go get the latest driver for
your
hardware/OS from the manufacturer's web page. For example, let's say
you
have an NVidia chipset video card or ATI video card, perhaps a
Creative
Labs sound card or C-Media chipset sound card...
