Find your motherboard model and get its drivers from the manufacturer the sound drivers should be there as well.

Ok i got my sound working but if i try and use my mic in ventrilo or teamspeak or even sound recorder i have trouble
ventrilo- Failed to open sound input device. Another program might have it open already teamspeak- shows i dont have a mic sound recorder- Your audio hardware cannot record into files like the current file. To record. create a new document |
