Hello,

I just installed a fresh copy of windows 7.My problem is that my onboard sound chip is not working.
So, I bought a sound card. This happened when i was on windows xp. XP did not need any drivers for the sound and the sound card was just plug and play. I did not use the driver cd and now it is misplaced. The sound card is not working on windows 7 32 bit.

The model number of the card id QHM8000 and it is by "QHMPL".

I have been working on it for the whole day but could not find anything about the drivers.
Plus, windows refuses to install microsoft drivers and I think the sound card was working perfectly with the microsoft audio drivers so if possible, I can use microsoft drivers but I cant find them in a specific installer package till now......

please help me...

tarun17 a lot of 3 party hardware wont ruin right after a clean install of windows 7 if you have not insttaled the intel chipset drivers or amd mb chipset drivers. also if the onboard sound chipset is still on you may not get sound. i would pull that sound card and install ac97 audio drivers from here.

reboot and see if your onbord sound comes back. if it does and you still want to use the new sound card turn off the sound chipset in the bios.

I have already tried these links but I was unable to install them.
Maybe u guys can tell me how to install them?
And which one do I download?

I am first downloading this:https://www.dropbox.com/s/m9m2fj5zg79pnag/QHM8000-PCI-4CH-Sound-Card-for.rar?dl=0

But there are 3 more options...
