    Computer drivers
    I have lost my computer drivers recently, then I formated my PC using Windows XP 2006 CD. When I am done with it, I found NO SOUND coming out from computer, what is reason? And how can I download my computer driver from the internet?

    You'll need to know what sound card/chipset your computer is using in order to get the correct drivers. Often doing a Windows Update (using the Custom mode instead of Express) will have that service find drivers for your computer. If not then you need to find the documentation for your computer or open up the case.

    The reason is that Windows did not recognize your sound card. So you need to find out exactly what sound card you have and go to the mfg's site and download the drivers.

    Hi,
    Check your sound card or device name and try to download from driverdownload.com and install it.
