Your computer problem is caused by a missing sound driver. You have to reinstall your computer drivers by it's driver installation cd. if you don't have it or your computer or soundcard driver installation disk is missing. then do this.

Try to find out your motherboard or soundcard manufacturer. You can download the driver that your motherboards or soundcard needs . But if it is too expensive there, try to use driver magician , after installing, driver magician will automatically detect your computers missing or outdated drivers. All you have to do is to Click the all detected driver that driver magician has detected from your motherboard, it will automatically search the internet and download the driver that you have selected. Press save, then install. There you have it. Have a nice day.

did you reformat? if you did, you can find the exact driver to the internet. find the motherboard type you can see it on the motherboard.it always type with bold letters.then search in the internet.

You may have to install the new drivers for your Realtec '97 Audio device from Realtek: The file name is WDM_A400.exe. You can google it to find it.
You can also (recommended) try to download the audio drivers from www.hp.com

Setup Soundcard driver from Motherboard CD. or Download driver from Internet and setup, hope it will work.
Thanks

Well, you can't really download a sound card. :-)

But you can download the driver for the audio chip on your motherboard.

Go to this site:

GA-8SG800 Drivers

Download and install the Audio driver.

Thanks for using Fixya.

you need a driver for your sound card. If it is integrated sound it will be oart of your chipset driver. If it is a PCI soundcard, go to the manufacturers website and download the driver

When you install the sound card drivers, they disable ALL motherboard sound functions, and enable them on the sound card, meaning you can do the same things, with better quality, you just need to connect everything to the soundcard or it won't work. SO then you cannot connect any sound to the front of the computer anymore, but a soundcard should have plenty of connections on the back side of the PC.

From what I understood from your story, you switched cassette players AND installed a sound card. If I were you I'd first install the sound card drivers, then try to play audio with the old cassette player, and see wether that works. If it does, your new cassette player has another (if at all) output than the old one. Then you'll just have to use the old one. If it does not work, your soundcard is the problem, which seems a bit odd. Soundcards are usually meant to do more than on-board sound, not less. I'd contact your manufacturer and ask wether it's normal this doesn't work, or that the card's broken.

I hope this helps,
Yannick.
