No Sound.

[Cyberia]

I fully re-installed Windows XP Home Edition yesterday and now I have no sound. DXDiag and MSinfo32 aren't picking anything up for a sound card so it's probably drivers but how do I know the sound card type?

Looking inside manually I found the jacks were connected to the motherboard so I'm guessing it's onboard and EVEREST Ultimate Edition says


Analog Devices AD1888/AD1980 @ Intel 82801EB ICH5 - AC'97 Audio Controller [A-2/A-3] PCI

Under PCI/PnP audio.

AC'97 is Realtek Audio.
Go here Click AC 97, click the check box and next. Download the second one. Should work for ya.

Gave me the blue screen of death so I quickly uninstalled. Installed SoundMax and now it's working. Thanks for the reply though!!!!

BSoD on Realtek? That's unheard of.
