In general the OS (I assume u have Windows) identifies the Sound card and installs the sound drivers. If it can not find a driver you need to install the driver with the appropriate driver support from the manafucaturer of your sound device.





1. Take look if you have a CD which was part of the sound device


2. Is it an ';onboard'; (integrated on your motherboard) sound card the drivers are probably on the support CD of your motherboard.


3. Take a look at your BIOS settings: If you have an external Sound card you need to disable the integrated sound card on you motherboard. If you use the integrated soundcard make sure it is enabled. If you have no clue what I am taking about you might ask a friend to help. If you want to try start your PC and hit a specific key (mostly DEL-key) to enter the SETUP. DO not make any changes to the setting - try to find the TAB ';Internal device'; and locate Soundcard. Enable/Disable depending on what you have installed. You need SAVE and restart.





4. Start WINDOWS. If you are lucky WIndows now detects the sound card and installes the drivers. You might be asked to put in the Soundcard driver in your CD player. Your done.


5. Ok, you are here and it seems 4. does not work. Go to START-%26gt;Control Panel. Select ';System'; than Hardware-%26gt;Device Manager. You should identify in the first lines a yellow question mark. This indicated that Windows has detected a device but could not install/find the Driver. Double-Click on it and go to Driver and select ';Update Driver';. You need to have the Driver on hand (CD). This process should install the soundcard driver.





If you do not have a driver try to identify what sound card you have an search the internet. Go to step 5 and try to install again.





Good luck.How do you install a sound advice on your computer?
Go to your device manager and look to see if there is a yellow exclimation mark next to the audio device, if there is the right click the audio device and click properties then click either reload driver or roll back driver
