Use Google to search for the drivers.

Copy the exact name of your soundcard into the search box.

This URL should suffice: Drivers

I donot know if they are the latest drivers for your soundcard. I suggest you search for the manufacturers website.

If you can not find the correct drivers, see if you still have the CD that came with your soundcard.

But,  Unless you have formatted your harddisk or removed your soundcard drivers, it should not stop generating sound. What have you done before this error occured?

The 'unimodem half duplex audio device' is not a sound card. It is your voice modem's ability to function as a speaker or headset phone.

Open the box and remove and examine your sound card. It may be an ESS Audiodrive, Ensonique, SoundBlaster, Crystal, Acer/AOpen, Turtle Beach, MediaVision, or Analog Devices unit. Copy down the model number and chipset number, and use a search tool or drivers site to locate drivers for that model. When you have suitable drivers, use Control panel, Install new hardware to get the card back running in the PC.

    Typical Blonde......Before you start tearing apart your pc.....lol why don't you go to ...... http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/en/default.asp
    click on scan for updates and let it do its thing.....when finished look over to the left and if you see any drivers
    you will see DRIVERS    ( # ) ....This may just save you some time ....because if the scan sees your sound card and no drivers it may offer them for download.
    Windows XP has a whack of drivers built into it.
    Good luck

    If you don't know the answer, it isn't a dumb question.
