Missing driver

[kidas]

I fidisk'd this computer and when I installed the new o/s all the drivers loaded except the sound driver. Before I fdisk I checked the drivers and this is what I saw Sound,Video-C-media PCI audio Legacy device. CMI8338/C3DXPCI Audio device. Where could I find this driver for the sound?

as far as I know, c-media is only found as on-board audio so look up your mobo manufacture on the web and get the drivers from them

EDIT: I looked up C-media, and they only make chips, but they have a driver page too so you can check it out here: http://www.cmedia.com.tw/e_product_01.htm

btw, just as a note...their site is nearly impossible to read with Mozilla or Netscape....I had to dust off IE just to be able to veiw it properly

When I download the file where do I save it to?

[minibubba]

where do you save it to? it's just like downloading anything else...have it download to somewhere that you will be able to easily find it again

................and if you have a CD-RW, tape drive, Zip drive or other method of making a copy of that driver, be sure to do so or you will be doomed to repeat this process at every fresh install.

A seperate partition for DL'd drivers and programs works well too.

And windows update did not have it?
