I finally got a new video card, but now my sound doesnt work. Where/How do I find the new drivers I need?

Yeah, I know I need something like new drivers, but I haven't replaced them on a desktop PC before, only a laptop, which is significantly easier.



I just need to know how I discover what drivers I need. My new grafix card is a NVIDIA GeForce2 MX 100/200, if that helps at all.|||go to nvidias site to get the graphics driver ... go to ur pcs' manufacture support site to get the audio driver ..|||To find out what drivers you need, you first need to find out what kind of pc it is if it's prebuilt like a dell, gateway or hp. If the pc is custom built then you will need to find out what kind of sound card it is and whether or not its onboard or a separate card.



So Step 1 Ask yourself the following question, is my pc prebuilt such as a dell, compaq, gateway or hp. Then on front of case find the model number such as Hp Pavilion 9459 etc.



Step 2. go to the computers website and click drivers and support and find your model in the list and download the necessary updates.|||Laptops, desktops, they basically work the same as far as updating drivers unless you have some unusual operating system installed.

For nVidia drivers, go to www.nvidia.com and download the latest driver for your card.



However, the new video card should not effect your sound because they are on separate circuits or cards. Some computers come with sound system circuitry built into the motherboard. Others use add-on cards inserted in the motherboard.



First, if you have Windows installed, go to the Sounds and Audio section in the Control Panel (Start / Settings / Control Panel / Sounds and Audio) and check your settings. Make sure nothing is muted and the volume is turned up.



If that does not help, go back in Control Panel, select System / Hardware / Device Manager / Sound, Video and Game Controllers, right-click on ... Audio Codec Interface, select Properties, then Driver. Try the update driver selection.



If that does not help, then your sound card/circuit board may have failed and will need replacing.



Good luck.



If you have a sound card, make sure it is properly seated in its slot. It may have been loosened during the installation of the video card.
