Sound card / required driver detection

A

awec

Doing some work on a friends pc and cannot for the life of me work out
what sound card he has. I thought I had the correct drivers installed,
but there is still no sound, and there is a "Multimedia Controller"
device in the device manager than still has a ? beside it.

Anyone know of a program that will basically tell me what drivers I need
for it?

Cheers.

Hi,

Run msinfo32 from the start/search line, then go to Components/Sound Device
to get details about the card in use, including the manufacturer. The maker
is generally the best source of drives for any component. With multimedia
components, the biggest problem is not usually the drivers, but rather
codecs installed on or missing from the machine.
