hey there.
i recently installed a new hard drive and have had lots of problems since. i've managed to get my internet working but haven't had any luck with sound. my sound card's onboard (i've been told it's probably a Realtek AC97 card, and have found something on my motherboard with Realtek printed on it, so i assume this to be true). it shows up in device manager as "PCI Multimedia Audio Device". i was pointed towards the drivers i need so i downloaded and installed them. however, i haven't a clue how it's meant to work. to get it working you're supposed to:
install the program in the file you download.
restart the computer, then click "cancel" when the add new hardware wizard detects the card and tries to install drivers for it.
run the program you just installed.
this is all i know. i ran the program and it opened some odd program that has something to do with sound effects. i'm completely baffled. has anyone else used this and knows what to do? it's Realtek AC97 wdm3.65 as far as i know.
thanx.
