The new video-card should have come with a CD-ROM, containing the necessary device-driver software to support the device.

Or, from the manufacturer's web-site:

If you are planning to get a sound device hardware like a PCI card you can choose CMI8738 audio PCI Audio Device may suffice your needs.

If built in on your motherboard use your motherboard installer or manually go to sound device folder to install the driver.

If you don't have the motherboard installer, try its manufacturer's site then choose the exact model number and version, to get the right driver.

Windows has drivers BUT, in many cases they are not the ones designed for your Motherboard. If you have the CD for the Motherboard you can install the drivers from that. Otherwise, you'll need to get the NAME of EACH of the devices (ie. NVidia for Graphics, Hitachi for Disk, Ricoh for Ethernet, etc.) to be able to determine what drivers you need. In many cases, the Motherboard Drivers are to be Installed BEFORE you install Windows. May be possible to install after windows install tho. Need to get a device listing first.
GOTO Device Manager in Control Panel and broswe through the listings for each of your devices to get the maker names.

Determine what sound card you have installed and download and install the driver for it. Go to device manager and click on "Sound, video and game controllers" to see what's installed. It will also tell you if the device is not working properly.

you would need to get all the drivers for your laptop from the IBM website and install all of them. If you cant find them or need further help please post back and let me know.
