Problem with my SIS7012 Soundcard =[

I installed a new hard drive into my systemax computer, and after that i couldnt hear any sound on my computer. i went into device manager and there were question marks beside the multimedia controller, the PCI simple communications controller and a few other things. i disabled them and downloaded the realtek AC'97 but i still have no sound.

Enter your info there and get your mobo downloads at source.

edit: use socket 478 - you maybe have to look at the mobo to get the specific model - 2 like yours with slightly diff version - then again, compare and maybe they use the same download.

i downloaded the audio driver but when i did the setup it would get to 80% and i would get an error report

What error exactly?

Since you installed a 'new' hd did you also re-install the OS or just clone it?

If re-installed, did you install the chipset drivers? If not, that site has those also. They are the FIRST thing you install after the OS.

Is It just me or did everyone miss this?....why did you disable them????

Probably because we all read "I installed a new hard drive into my systemax computer, and after that i couldnt hear any sound on my computer. i went into device manager and there were question marks beside the multimedia controller, the PCI simple communications controller and a few other things." and just did the usual.

You have the ball.


:)

I am still waiting to see what the error is

I'm rather curious myself........

k_fisher102290, you cannot expect the device to work if you disabled it!
