My soundcard and speakers not working?

[adamD]

Ok without actually running the restore disks I normally went through them and on the first disk there is a file called drivers and there is similar stuff on the other disks. But to be honest I don't really know what I am looking for

[Aegis]

You done good.  Open that file called drivers and see if they have anything for Sound.  You may see something like AC97, which stands for Audio Codecs97. 

What you should be able to do is gp bacl into control panel under audio/sound, and in the Sounds and Audio Devices section, click the Hardware tab, click the Properties button, and then the Driver tab.

Under the Driver tab, you'll have an option to install or update the driver.  You should be able to use a Browse button to direct the system to look in that driver folder on that CD in the CD-ROM.

Let us know if this works, please.

Thanks,
Brian

Well under hardware there is a list of items that I can pick the properties for any specific one I'm looking for?

[Aegis]

Heck, I'm not sure -- what kinds of hardware are listed?

[adamD]

The list of devices given is as follows

HL-DT-ST CD-ROM GCR-8483B
HL-DT-ST DVD-RAM GSA-H55N
Audio Codecs
Legacy Audio Drivers
Media Audio Devices
Legacy Video Capture Devices
Video Codecs


Also when I was looking at the restore disks I couldn't find a file named AC97. O probably going to call the emachine support later on tonight

[Aegis]

Probably not a bad idea to call support, Adam.  I'm sorry I can't be more specific.  Maybe someone else will jump on here and help us out.

[adamD]

Yep I had to download the Audio Driver. I guess something screwed up when I did the restore. Thanks Guys

No problem.  I hope I didn't lead you in too many circles before you found the answer!
