No sound on windows 98

[Kaga]

Hello, recently I downloaded some things and then uninstalled them since I didn't need them anymore.

I think I may have accidently uninstalled all(?) my sound components x____x;; I can't find my win 98 SE disc at all, either; none of my other discs with my computer information on them have any sound drivers or anything on them.

My volume controls don't open and no sound plays on any webpages or in WMP.

Is there anywhere I can download something to fix my sound issues/replace what I lost?

I'm a complete n00b when it comes to computers ;__; If I can't find help here i'm most likely going to go without sound forever, lol.

hi there, first go herehttp://www.cpuid.com/pcwizard.php and download and install it after this run the software.....
find out about the name of the manufacturer and from the manufacturers site u can download the required drivers for our device

Or you can go to majorgeeks.com & scrool down to system info ,look for BELARC, from there download your system read out. Then you can find the driver you will need .

[Kaga]

I followed your instructions, Xavier.

I've got my system read out now, but which part of it shows what driver I need?

It says my computer's made by gateway o_o
But there's no sound drivers listed for it on the sound driver page here.

Look under Multimedia paragraph

[xavier]

YES look under MULTI MEDIA, If you cannot find the driver i would buy a sound card and install it to get your sound back.

[Kaga]

"Multimedia
ES1869 Control Interface (WDM)
ES1869 Plug and Play AudioDrive (WDM)
Gameport Joystick (no joystick connected) "

Blah, I got nothing.
Guess i'll have to buy a new sound card.

Thanks for your help, everyone~ much appreciated.

[Broni]

Hold on there.

[Broni]

Before you buy anything try to install audio driver. Your driver is here: http://drivers.softpedia.com/get/SOUND-CARD/ESS-AUDIO/ESS-Sound-Card-ES1869-1087.shtml

That website didn't work for me, but I googled it and found another page :3

Unfortunetly, i'm not very fammiliar with .zip files. I've got the "file download" popup minimized right now.

Should I open or save it? If I do save it, where should I save it to?

[Broni]

Save it to your desktop. To open zip file, download, and install 7-zip: http://www.7-zip.org/

[xavier]

Save it to desk top and then from desk top open it

[xavier]

Your 1 ahead of me BRONIE with more experiance but i will always give it a shot

[Broni]

Don't worry about it, xavier

[Kaga]

I tried installing it, but it kept asking me to insert my driver disk and then my win 98' CD- neither of which I have at the moment.

Once again, thanks to all who took the time to respond. I'm going to fish around for my disk/CD tonight, hopefully i'll find one of 'em then get this fixed :]
