I think this is my sound driver, and I want to update it, but I didn't get a CD when I bought the PC, what can I do?

Yes, that's right, it is your sound driver. First option is to run Windows Update. Sometimes, it will find updated drivers. Not very often, but sometimes. Windows Update will be pretty good about getting the right ones for you.

If that solves your problem, let us know so we can close this thread

If Windows Update doesn't find anything, run the D-A-L.com Online Hardware Scan (link is at the bottom of my signature) and copy and paste the contents of the log file here so that we can see exactly what's inside your PC and give you some reliable advice

ive just downloaded these from:
http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/...&Software=True
go there and choose the appropriate one (a3.62 for windows 98/me/........probably)

I did that Windows Update, but all It wanted to do was Download lots of security stuff, I havnt done that yet, I spose I should, I've updated, my graohics card, but I cant seem to do it to my sound one what next?
Thanks jen.eric I'll try that link and get back to you, (may take a while, stupid 56k modem)
Thanks again to all of you for your valued help!!


Regards
Dan

OK, use the link that Jen gave for www.realtek.com.tw - sounds like they've got some reference drivers that you could use.

It seemed to have worked, my games run a little smoother and the sound is less scratchy, but I think I will need a new sound card, this ones a little RS. Thanks for your help people.
for thoes who wanna know, I don't need this thread any more. you can delete it. Thanks again

you shouldnt delete these type of threads for google bot scans each thread and makes them a search result and therefore leads to more traffic here, thats how i got here

Thanks for the update Dan
