Realtek AC97 sound card driver problem

[Roshi229]

you would right click the one you're having problems with in device manager and select disable. then turn the pc off open and insert the card, boot it up, and with a new card comes that wonderful cd with the drivers... no more searching the web (untill later when you need to update the drivers )

Edit: depending on the motherboard, :::winks at southernlady::: the onboard audio may automatically disable it self when it detects a new audio card, many onboard video devices will do this.

i think i'll probably end up getting a new sound card since xmas is coming up. i'll just have to overcome the hurdle of finding out what'll work with my p.c. woe.

oh, to have everything i need on a cd. i'm having problems with my monitor too, but overcoming my sound problem is more important.

go to their (mobo or realtek) website. download the driver file. it will be in 1 of 2 formats

1. just the driver

2. a program to install it

now most program installs (no.2) are in a compress format (.cab .zip .rar) if you have winrar right click the file and extract it to a directory (my documents, etc)

click the add new hardware wizard. when it ask for a cd, choose the from a specific location option. browse to the Extract folder or the driver folder the has your OS driver.

realtek is audio chip, so manufacturers embed them on their mobos with their own audio controllers.

anyway, here is the link for the base chipset frivers, hope they are of help.
