Sound Card Not Recognised

[kop442000]

Hi everyone

My HD died and I put a new one in.
But I can't seem to get my external sound card to work now.

I have used the installation disk but it doesn't seem to help. My card (Terratec DMX 6 Fire 24/96) doesn't show up in lists and there is an exclamation mark next to the Audio Controller in device manager.

I have downloaded the drivers but it doesn't seem to make any difference.

Does any one have any idea what I am doing wrong?

Many thanks in advance of any replies posted.

Do your OS now is the same with the old one before?

If no, try this: try checking your driver compatibility with the card then try downloading the RIGHT one.

If yes, try this: try disabling other built-in sound card(if any), also try updating your   USB driver(if your external Sound Card connects at USB).

If nothing in these work, tell me ASAP.

Do you have the speakers connected properly to the sound card and not the onboard audio ? ?
Have you tried the speakers on another machine ? ?
In Device Manager right clik the audio device and select uninstall...re-boot and re-install the drivers.
