The trouble l've just had is totally unbelievable. My dvd writer had been been playing up and the new one arrived today. Now l'm no engineer, but it's not rocket science. Took the old drive out, and put the new drive in, making sure the jumper was in the same position as the old one.
It then showed videos, but no sound (same for cd's). The sound card is a million miles away so l know l didn't jolt that. It's taken me over two hours to get the sound back (reseating card, reinstalling sound card application, reinstalling drivers etc) and l STILL don't know what l did, if anything, to get it back, it just came back. Weird!
Anyway, in device manager under sound, video and game controllers, it now shows my audio card device, so that's a good start!
It also shows entries for Legacy Audio Drivers, Legacy Video Capture Drivers, Media Control Devices, and Realtek AC'97 Audio for Via (R) Audio Controller. Are all/any of these actually needed?
I seem to have drivers (divx, k-lite full pack, the ones shown above etc.) pouring out from all over the place so l'm just trying to tidy things up a little. Or should l just leave things as is?
Thanks
