    lost legacy aduio drivers

    I have a PIV WinXP with Sp2.

    I lost my legacy audio drivers. I thought I was restoring them from my driver back-up file but obviously it was the wrong files, When I restarted, the entire folder was gone when I looked in Control Panel/Sound Volume & Control Panel/System/hardware/device manager.

    I don't notice any problems. My mp3 & midi files play. My DXDiag & sound card tests are OK too.

    What are the legacy audio drivers used for?
    Do I need to replace them? If so How, where?

    Thx

    Welcome to Windrivers summerby

    Legacy on a computer means "old". Legacy drivers allow backward compatibility with older programs and such.

    To find your drivers need to know what make/model your pc is.
