i recently downloaded a program that seemed to remove all drivers on my pc

there is warning symbols all over device manager

but everything seems 2 work fine except for my sound

there is an icon in my system tray of a speaker with a red "x"

in device manager it says everything is working but but there is no driver installed

so i downloaded and reinstalled my driver but it just installs then asks me to restart

but still it wont work

anybody have any ideas?

im using a vista computer with a gigabyte motherboard which uses realtek intergrated sound

please help im considering buying a new soundcard with its own set of drivers but before i fork out £30 for a half decent one i need to know if thats a last option?

or even if itll work?

also i have vista sp1 i think this might have affected it but i think the sound worked after i installed it

just to make sure i will uninstall sp1 then reinstall my drivers to see if it helps

Hey this might help..... go to control panel and then go to hardware and sound. there are three options under sound go to manage audio devices. When in audio devices there sould be a box where your device should be in the white backgound of this box right click an select show disabled devices it should come up if it does just renable it. this is all the help i can give hope it help

thanks for the help though

in that white box after i clicked "show disabled devices" it still said no audio devices are installed
