Help with sound card...

[crzy_chinky_man]

I think I might have deleted my sound device on accident. When I go and check, it doesn't show a sound device. I also lost my cd so I can't install it and I don't remember the name of my sound card since it has been uninstalled from my comp. Is there a way I can reinstall it without using the cd? Thanks.

Oh and my sound card came with my motherboard...

Reinstall your mainboard drivers or downloaded updates ones and install those.

how do i reinstall my mainboard drivers?

i dont know what motherboard i have and i lost the cd that i need to install it.

Open your case, examine the mainboard and look for a name printed on the plastic.

Everyone should create a back-up of their mainboard CD or at least write down it's details in case you have to download drivers.

I donot know if this goes for all mainboards, but here I can uninstall them from the Add/Remove software menu.

Once you have obtained new drivers for your mainboard by doing as I said you should carefully follow instructions.

control panel  add new hardware ...either let windows find your sound card or chose the manual option...scroll down the list  to sound etc...
