Hey guys, my OS just became corrupt when I installed SP2. Well I just reinstalled windows and started reinstalling all the drivers. But the thing is, I don’t have any disks because I bought this computer off of a mate of mine. He says he does’t have a disks either and now i’m having problems trying to find the right sound drivers to get any sound at all.
The motherboard is a M2N-MX SE PLUS. If I knew what the sound device was, I could find the right drivers on the internet. When I go to dxdiag.exe it says there is no sound device or I need to install the drivers for it. In device manager, it detects an uninstalled PCI device, and an unknown device which I think it the sound device. Can anyone help me out here?
I’m a bit confused. Are referring to SP2 (for WinXP ? ) and to Windows and to dxdiag.exe. … I believe that is all for an Operating System by Microsoft? We don’t support Microsoft Operating system here.
Are you trying to set up openSUSE Linux? Or SuSE Linux Enterprise Desktop (SLED) ? … or MS-Windows?
Hop to uncle Google, armed with the exact make/model of your mobo. It should give you some site with your hw specs, including those of your onboard audio. If it’s not onboard, hop to uncle Google, armed with the exact make/model of your audio PCI card. If you’re overly reluctant of opening your PC case, there are excellent Live CDs that’ll probe your hw without opening its case. Just download one (say, Ultimate Boot CD), burn it on an empty CD (don’t copy it, burn it as a disk image) and boot from it. There are many tools which will probe your interiors and tell you which sound chip you have. Armed with that name you should be in a good position to find your soundcard manufacturer’s site, where you’ll probably also find the drivers for it. If it’s an onboard sound card, you’ll probably find the drivers on the mobo vendor’s site.
That would be all.
