Cannot detect sound card

you need to download the driver for the sound card in your system the manufacturers website of the computer should have this for free. if it still doen't detect the sound reboot the computer and enter the bios to see if the card is enabled

you need to know the name and type of audio card your pc has then you can start to download the driver there are driver detect utilitys on the net but most cost money and the free ones dont pick up sound cards though most common sound cards are real-tech try running a driver detection agent if this dosnt help email me the make of computer and we can then narrow it down

best luck

or all devices the sound card is the hardest to find connect to driver detective.com and it will download your correct driver

download the latest audio driver from here http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/driverslist.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=gen&ServiceTag=&SystemID=VOS_N_1510&os=WLH&osl=en&catid=&impid=
make sure you download the one for your operating system

Re-Install the drivers from the system disk that came with your computer. If no disk, go to the website and download the drivers for your model computer.

Try downloading the drivers from the Compaq website or do a search useing the model number and the word "driver".Reinstalling the drivers and the computer would detect the card.

One of two things happened - Either the driver for the sound card became corrupted, or the sound card died. First thing to do is go through the control panel, and the add new hardware wizard, see if Windows detects and installs the card. If it detects the sound card, but can't find the driver, open the computer case, make a note of sound card manufacturer and model number, and use the manufacturer's support site to download and reinstall the drivers. (Alternately, if the card is integrated, or was put in the system by Acer, and if you're not concerned about data loss, many Acer desktops have a System Recovery partition, accessible by restarting and holding Alt. + F10 during post/startup - varies for some models)

If driver detection/reinstallation is unsuccessful, power off the system(Unplug the power cord as well), open the case, move the card to a different slot, restart the system, and try driver detection again.

If the card is STILL not showing up in device manager, its likely toast. You can purchase a decent Sound Blaster 5.1-7.1 sound card for under thirty bucks on Ebay, at WalMart, etc.
