More info?)
Way to go Cari that Belarc program is a beute! I got the make for my
motherboard it's a MSI (MICRO-STAR INTERNATIONAL) model 6533. I went to
their site and found the driver for my system. Downloaded it and installed
it. I've now got sound!! Just one little glitch! The keyboard strokes now
seem to interfere with any sound that is playing. eg. if I have a song
playing via media player it will play fine unless I try to type something on
the keyboard then it pauses and stutters. Could this still be a problem with
drivers? I positive I've got the right one for the on board sound, but I
suppose one of the others might be clashing with it. So close but yet so
far. Does it ever get easy? Thanks again for the help Cari.
Much Obliged
