[SOLVED] Audio driver for motherboard i845g-w83627hf

DrewThirty · 05-31-2009, 01:01 AM

from the begining lol

I picked up a micro system for the kids to use so they would leave mine alone, great idea eh

So, I whacked in a decent video card .. installed XP ... all went well, but no sound. I installed Belarc to find out what MB we had as there are no details on the board that I can see other than REV C.

Belarc tells me I have an i845G-W83627HF ... cool says I, this'll be easy ... nope

I can't find an audio driver anywhere, I found links that told me 'click here for blah blah driver" just to find nothing at the end of the rainbow.

I figure, stuff it ... i'll just install a new audio card and be done with it.....except system won't let me. Everytime I put in a card, it won't boot up. 3 diff cards .. 3 diff bouts of swearing!

If anyone can help me, I would be more greatful than mere words can show
