Hi Shelf Life,

I finally have sound on my computer and i am in music heaven! I ended up buying a new sound card for £7! Had no idea it would be so cheap!
Looks like we'll never know what the...

I have just looked in my device manager again and have found some of the yellow exclamation marks, when i go to view hidden devices. The exclamation marks are on the non plug and play drivers list....

Surely in that driver details it should really say something like C:\programmefiles.realtekac97 ? Looks like it might be setup to the wrong driver file

Have re-intalled and still no luck, its so wierd. Im looking at the RealTek AC'97 folder in my programme files folder right now. But its just not being picked up anywhere else on my computer. Have...

Hi

No theres still nothing coming up, nothing is changing at all when i install the new driver, its still exactly as it was before, on the device manager list:'Sound, video and game controllers'

One last thing,
This did all start happening when i first started getting Malware problems, so dont know if this sound issue is linked to that at all?

Ok im starting to get really worried about this now!
Right i went into the setup mode after pressing delete, when i went into intergrated peripherals, the only part i could find that was to do with...

Hi Shelflife,
