Hello guys i will be thankful for some help in solving my problem, my computer was running really slow so i assumed it was a virus , i formatted the hard drive and all seems well and running fast again but my problem is that i dont have sound which is a very important component to my pc usage, can you guys help me out as to how to get the driver and where i can get it to download , the mother board is biostar, there was no sound card cd with it . thanks for your help

Go to the Biostar website, find your motherboard on their products list, download the driver, then install it.

Do you know the sound card? If not try install Everest or SANDRA Lite (http://www.filehippo.com/software/benchmark/) and do diagnostics for the sound card if motherboard-based. Then download appropritate sound driver from manufacturer. Also check out sound setting. Simply Select Microsoft default. (Start > Settings > Control Panel > Sounds & Audio Devices > TAB: AUDIO > Default Device = select your sound card. { Note: INSTALL THE SOUND DRIVER BEFORE GOING TO SET DEVICE SETTINGS). Post your experience.

For people who have driver problems, i strongly suggest you download & install driver genius. What this program does is it makes a back-up of all your drivers & compresses them as one exe file. You can update your drivers with it. It also downloads missing drivers for you so you dont have to hassle with identifying your hardware & stuff. Try it, make up your own mind. What greater betrayal is there, to give pain where you owe love.
