I just installed windows service pack 3, and there is no audio driver... I can't find any downloads that actually fix it, they download, install and reboot just to get the same result.


edit: i tried rolling it back, and it says there are no previous

No sound card was found. If one is expected, you should install a sound driver provided by the hardware manufacturer. It is usually Intel High Definition (HD) Audio

try run Everest on your computer and go to Multimedia --> PCI / PnP Audio and see what chip you got there.

Everest can be downloaded from here: http://www.lavalys.com/
