My sound card driver will not install

chickmagnet88p · 07-24-2009, 01:02 AM

Hello, I used to have an E-MU sound card, when I installed the driver everything worked great. I was able to feed sound through my receiver and then to my speakers. unfortunately i sold the speakers and receiver, and then the sound card because i no longer needed it. I uninstalled the software but the settings for my sound were still set on the driver for the emu sound card. I then deleted the driver for that sound card through device manager. I went to the manufacturers web site and got the original driver download. I proceeded with the set up and rebooted but it keeps reverting to the old emu sound driver in device manager. Ive tried this process over and over and the roll back driver is not working either. ALSO when i install the driver the sound volume option in the right corner says no audio output device is installed.

what can i do?

im going to try windows restore and updating my bios tonight. please give me constructive ideas.

im running a compaq presario sr1950nx with windows vista 32-bit.

thanks.

I tried this and it still isnt working, the program was unable to detect the EMU driver. My computer is still unable to install the correct realtek driver.

Any more ideas?
