Hi USprodigy

First check at windows update's under hardware optional,
if there is do update AC'97 audio or any audio update and let us know if it helps

USprodigy · 05-14-2008, 06:11 AM

well i click windows update, then it has a screen to boot it

"when you connect, how do you want to connect..."

i select, "if my devide needs a driver, go to windows update without asking"

click ok, and nothing happens, andi do this repeadeatly

edit:

i went to this site- http://www.update.microsoft.com/micr....aspx?ln=en-us

and wanting to download the updates manually

USprodigy · 05-15-2008, 09:58 PM

dai · 05-15-2008, 10:29 PM

check it's not muted somewhere or the sound turned down
in the device manager click on view at the top and show hidden devices
then check if there is any yellow in the listings

USprodigy · 05-16-2008, 03:31 PM

downloaded, then i apperently already have it, since it only gave me the options to upgrade/reinstall and remove

well it was about to finish, then it says:
"Driver Not Found! Reboot, Your System, and run this setup again"

so i did but it gives me the same thing.
