Emachines realtek sound promblem - Computers & Internet

Hello. Now these type of computers have been known to have the sound go out on them. What you can do is get a soundcard and install it. Then run your speakers off of the sound card.

Download the soundcard's drivers from the Emachine Support Website

I had a sound problem and went to Realtek site and downloaded the Realtek AC97 Driver and installed it, work ok for me on Desktop with Gigabyte Motherboard and windows XP

The super-cheapie models use Realtek AC97 2-channel drivers, while the multi channels use Realtex HD drivers. You can go direct to Realtek's website (google "realtek drivers" and go to their website.

Control Panel / System / hit the "hardware" tab, device manager, scroll down to "sound video and game controllers" hit the plus sign to the left, and your audio devices should be listed. The one with the yellow sign of doom is the problem device, and the name of the device is the one you want from Realtek.

Rather than let Windows search for it, I'd rather take it from Realtek, and run the install. Afterwards, burn it to a CD for use when you upgrade, or reinstall your OS.

That will happen sooner or later, so best be prepared.

You will need to take the cover off the computer to do this.
If your ok with that, grab a flash light, take a look the the sound
card ,( the card with 3 smalll jacks, on back side of pc).
write down brand and model number.
then just google search for brand (ex:realtek) most brands have website where you can get download the drivers.

Hi,

Finding eMachine drivers can be a frustrating task.

Have a look here though:

Scroll down until you see Audio: Realtek & Audio: Soundmax.

You will need one of these drivers but I'm not 100% sure which one you will need but my best guess would be the Realtek Driver.

So try the Realtek file first and if that doesnt work then you could also try the Soundmax file after.

I hope this helps

usually realtek do 99% of audio drivers used on motherboards.. try the realtek site for "WDM" driver. if this doesnt work download a free program called CPUZ and this will tell you what make and model of motherboard you have, with this info you can find the drivers for all components on the motherboard manufacturers website

they would be here

Try and update the audio driver

Audio Description Realtek AC'97 Audio Driver File Type Original Driver Version 5.10.0.5990 Operating System Windows XP Read Me File Download Driver File Download (30.76 MB)

try re-installing the drivers but use the drivers from here

the sound chipset on your computer is based on the AC 97 audio chip, and Realtek are the best drivers, just select the correct one for your opperating system
