C-Media AC97 Audio Device .... i guess thats wat it is

[Retired Tech]

Download and install Everest Home Edition

Run the programme, click + next to computer then summary

Look on right for multimedia / audio adapter

Look at the manufacturer’s site for the suitable drivers for your Operating System

If you are unable to find them, please post the make and model here before you download anything

Please set a system restore point before you install anything

Which is understandable, looking at that

Got to http://www.creative.com/support/

Click software auto update, you will need to click tools, pop up blocker, turn off pop up blocker

You may need to install their update engine etc, allow those and see what it offers you

it said "Creative Software AutoUpdate was unable to detect any Creative products attached to your computer."

It will be one of the items when you click any of the headings on any of the screens, which could take a while, but it will be there
