Please can someone help? I`ve googled and tried everything I could find, been at it for days now. When I click on audio device in control panel everything is blanked out and it says `no audio device` In device manager when I click audio codecs or legacy audio drivers, it says this device is working properly. There is a yellow exclamation mark on PCI device, when I click this it says ` the drivers for this device are not installed` All was ok until I formatted the drive and installled xp. Then I used the original utilities disc to reinstall the drivers. Thanks for any suggestions.
Try right-clicking the PCI device with the exclamation mark and uninstalling it.
Then restart the machine.
Probably Windows mis-detected it after the clean install. You may well find that as you have now installed the correct drivers, when you restart, Windows will correctly identify it and use those drivers.
Thanks for your suggestion, just tried it, but still the same, recognised as new hardware when I rebooted, but still no driver. Searched automatically and from the disc.
Does anyone know, if I installed a usb PIC card, if it would be likely to work.
