Sound Problems

[Alexander]

Hi, I’m having trouble with my sound. I’ve swapped into another PC. It found the new hardware and asked for the 98—I don’t have it. I recorded the driver files that the PC is looking for and found them on driverguide.com. I did a manual install and the system asked for the device I clicked on ‘have disk’ and navigated to the folder where I downloaded the files. The files in the folder is not visible because the system is looking for file with the extension *.inf. Can I just dump the files in the system folder and have the system find them and use them?

My next trick is that I’m going to uninstall the sound card and try having the system discover the new device on boot. When the system asks for the Windows 98 disk I’ll try looking in the folder where I downloaded the driver files again.

Can anyone help me this problem? Thanks Alex

I'm no whiz at this but I do know that the .inf file is necessary for the Windoze driver install process to work properly, at least that's been my experience. Maybe if you browse some other .inf files, you can figure out how to cluge one for these drivers.

When it ask for the Inf file and ask for the 98 disk it is probably asking for the drivers disk. The files you downloaded are probably zipped. Make sure you unzip them to a folder then in folder options click the show all files option. now when the instal ask for the file point it to the folder you unzipped the drivers to.
