WIndows7 / Intel Audio problem

[spike1]

Hi there

I have a desktop that I built a couple of years ago , based on the Intel 845 MoBo , I have been runing XP up to now , but now I have Window7 on it , the problem is now I can not get any sound from the onboard sound , Intel say they dont have a W7 driver for there onboard sound on there D845 MoBo .
Question is , can I get a sound card that has drivers that will support W7 , and use that on my Intel D845 MoBo .

cheers

If they have Vista drivers, that will likely work for you.

You need to get some new drivers for that video card to get it to work on the new OS. I you cannot find newer drivers to install or installing the drivers doesn't help then you need to take a look at the OS the card supports or post what model of sound card you have here and I'll find it.

My friend upgraded from XP to Win 7 and his sound stopped working too. I did a little research on it and found out that his card could not be used on Win 7. Sound cards are cheap though so its not a very big deal. I bought a $30 one for him and everything worked like a charm again.
