Sound card not working with Windows 7?
Hey y'all. Due to a hard drive failure (not my own choosing), I installed Windows 7 Ultimate on my PC. Everything seems to be working okay except for my "Multimedia Audio Controller." Therefore, I can't get any sound.
Windows can't find an appropriate driver for it and it doesn't appear that NVIDIA has a driver for Windows 7. Should I try the XP or Vista driver? Or is my card (nVIDIA nForce3 150) just sorely out of date and in need of replacing? I assume this is one of those cases where the software or hardware is incompatible with Windows 7. Thanks for your help. |

I'd try the Vista driver.
If the driver is an *.exe just run it. If it comes in folders with *.sys or *.ocx then run the Update Drivers button through Device Manager. |

I ran the .exe file but still not working. Any other ideas?

In my signature (bottom of all my posts) is a link to Everest. Run Everest and post your motherboard make and model please.

Unfortunate.
Soyo doesn't even run a website for drivers and you need the chipset drivers for that motherboard. If you have the SOYO CK8 Dragon Plus CD for the motherboard then you have a chance to load some drivers. Most all the links for Soyo lead to "Driver Detective" software and that junk isn't going to do anything for you. Next time choose a Gigabyte or an Asus motherboard. That Soyo has been left behind in technology. Sorry I couldn't help you more. |

I actually do have the CD that came with it -- installed the drivers and nothing worked. Then I let Windows update the drivers -- for some reason, it works now. When I tried to let Windows update the drivers previously, it didn't work.
Who knows? But it works now. Thanks for your help. |
