not really, Find out what model your motherboard is and download the sound drivers for it and you should be good to go.
I'd get the chipset, network and video drivers while your at it just to make sure they are all up to date.

Ok, i ran this and i cant figure out where to go for a free driver update. O downloaded a program that scans your drivers for problems. It said my sound driver is out of date but wants $30 to fix. I went to megatrends web site and didn't see a update driver area.

Heres your chipset driver. Your board has an nForce 630i chipset. This download should cover everything thats on your motherboard.

Download and install...should be good to go.

American megatrend is the BIOS manufacturer they aren't who built your motherboard.

I downloaded it and it is asking me this yes or no question. If i click yes, it wont screw up my Internet connection will it?

 

[Tin]

Click Yes, it will update your ethernet driver for you.

Get it rolling?

 

[cobrarwanab]

Get it rolling?

I clicked yes, restarted mt computer but still no sound. I go into my control panel, click on sounds and it says no audio device.

 

[Tin]

Try this. Go to your device manager, and see if there are any question marks in it. If there is one, it may be your audio card. From there, right click on it, click properties, then update driver. The folder the nVidia drivers were extracted to should have it in there. You may have to manually point Windows to the driver in the said folder.

Where is my device manager?

Where is my device manager?

Under the control panel. If you open your control panel, click "classic view". There should be either a "system" icon or a plain device manager icon. If you click the system icon, there will be a button you can click for the device manager.

[Tin]

I forgot, the newer nForce chipsets dont include audio like the older ones do.

 

[cobrarwanab]

I did it and it says. the hardware was not installed because the wizard con not find the necessary software.

 

[Tin]

Did you try the audio driver I linked?

 

[cobrarwanab]

I just noticed it. I'm in the process right now.

 

[cobrarwanab]

the last link did not work. i clicked on it, a screen poped up i hit run and all that shows is a white blank screen

 

[Tin]

The driver I posted should work, its right from the motherboard manufacturers website. It should come with the installer.
