Question : Problem: How do I get the correct sound driver?
On 3 different information apps, I am told that there are 3 different sound devices in this machine. I actually manually installed one or 2 of them. They are:
1. Creative SB Live! (WDM)
2. SoundMAX integrated Digital Audio
3. Unimodem half-Duplex Audio Device
The only place to plug in a speaker wire is into the Creative sound Card, so I guess that is the correct driver. It is physically in the PC with nowhere else to plug a device or speakere in.
I have no sound. I have no Driver or accessory disks for this machine. I just reinstalled a new version of windows XP Home from the original Dell disk which has only the OS on it.
I have so far installed correctly everything (Drivers) manually from another PC, to usb drive, to the Dell. Everything but the sound is working perfectly. I was actually proud of what I had done so far. But here I am again at the Experts mercy.
At the Creative site, I am not exactly sure which is the right driver. I am not sure what version the Sound card is. So the question is do I have to disable the other 2 drivers then install the Creative one? Or do I have to uninstall them completely? I have spent a good part of this day seeking out drivers one by one and manually installing them. I just do not understand why people cannot keep track of such important things as PC installation disks.
One more driver to go with the assistance of the Experts I hope.
Thank you in advance.
