Hi...Merry Christmas everyone.
A friend of mine has developed a problem with his speakers not working. I made sure that he had them plugged in correctly, of course. In audio properties from the control panel, it said there were no audio devices in the computer. So, I checked the device manager. It showed PCI audio device, (no stated manufacturer)...It had a yellow question mark on it. So, did PCI input device. So, I figured somehow it might be a driver problem. But, he has no manual on the machine, can't find a restoration disk, and I don't know what manufacturer to go to for a driver. Is there a generic driver I can get from Microsoft, that might work. Any other ideas of things I can try to isolate this problem would be appreciated. Thanks.
