Hi,

I have recently had my PC rebuilt but on Device Manager my PCI Device has an exclamation mark. I think it may need drivers installing but i cannot find any. Looking at an old thread someone suggests going to Balarc Advisor which i have done and the details are as follows:

i do believe that computer uses the same motherboard as yours, so you can try and download the Realtek High Definition Audio Drivers.

Hiya,

Sorry should have mentioned, i did that, put the serial number in and downloaded the sound drivers but i still have no sound. Any other ideas please would be really helpful?

Loadsa thanks
Shell

When i run it it is still reporting an error - The driver is called Microsoft UAA Function Driver for High Definition Audio - Realtek 880/860. The component PCI Device has now disappeared from the Device Manager, is this normal? should i uninstall?

Thanks
Shell

Wohoo, it fixed it!! I cant have downloaded it correctly the first time! Many Thanks...it certainly woke me up when it popped into life....thanks so much

I will be back as im sure to encounter more problems

Loadsa love
Shell

haha no prob man.

so the problem was you downloaded the wrong drivers?

anyways, you can consider reading the forums every once in awhile, you'd learn alot just like i do lol.

Thanks Kaistar, i will certainly have a read of this site,Cheers
