Let's back up a step.
I have audio hardware on a motherboard. I have drivers for the audio
hardware. I have installed the driver software for the audio hardware. Device
Manager indicates that the software is installed and selected.
But, from the Control Panel, Sounds and Audio Devices, on the tab Volume,
is the message, "No audio Device Installed". I just want to know how to make
the program acknowledge the presence of the Device.
I gather that if I uninstall the audio drivers, and restart the machine, XP
will attempt to install the audio card's drivers. When I try to delete the
drivers for the sound, their are several other drivers still present, called,
audio Codecs, Legacy Audio Driver, Media Control Devices. These I cannot
uninstall. So I restart the machine, XP sees the unsupported hardware,
installs the drivers, but I still get the "No Audio Device Installed"
message. That is, no change from the previous position. And still no sound.
So, where do you get the idea I don't know how to download drivers or
install them? If you don't know an answer to the question I asked, which was
"Is there some way to fix this without doing a reformat and re install", just
be quiet and eat your cookie.
Is there an adult out there who can answer my question?
