Sound card fuck up by fabio 10/25/2011, 2:04pm PDT
Disclaimer: I know jack dick about hardware, software, drivers, or anything technical. Assume nothing is too basic for me.



So around 6 months ago I had to wipe my hard drive and reinstall everything from scratch. Everything worked fine except the sound card (Soundblaster Audigy SE) . The computer wasn't even detecting I had one so every attempt to install the drivers was met with an error that it couldn't find any supported device installed. Since then I've given up and just used the wireless headset for sound, but it sucks and I can't record system audio with it.

On startup, 2 notices pop up from the found hardware wizard: Realtek High Definition Audio and PCI device. I install Realtek High Definition audio drivers, and the two new startup notices are "microsoft UAA bus driver for high definition audio" and PCI device. Every help section I've read says to keep the Realtek and ignore the Microsoft driver.

So now there's the "PCI device" which I'm assuming is the sound card but it's not detecting it as a sound card? Any attempt to install the correct drivers is met with the usual error message of no supported devices found.

Where is the fuckup?
