inquiry, on Previous thread, Sound Installation Problem

I'll assume this is onboard sound on the motherboard. Try downloading the
drivers from the manufactures website. Ensure the onboard sound is enabled
in the BIOS. Remove the old drivers (either through Add/Remove Programs if
listed, or through System Properties). Restart and install new drivers
specifying the file/location of the downloaded drivers.

Having similar problem, and haven't been able to enable the sound card,
though have tried on multiple attempts to uninstall / reinstall drivers. Also
have AC 97, Avance/ realtek. The program, Soundman runs in the program
manager, and exists in the startup menu, but when i click it to open it
nothing occurs, just the programs menu exits as though the program has been
accessed. But Device manager shows no audio device., and settings show that
sound device so that would make sense that nothing happensSounds and Audio
Devices show as follows:
Volume: No Audio Device
Sounds: Windows Default
Audio: Modoem #5 Line Playback
Voice: "same"
Hardware:
Unimodem Half-duplex device
Audio Codecs
Legacy Audio Drivers
Media Control Devices
Legacy Video Capture devices
Video Codecs
Assuming that one would know the appropriate devices for my CPu, is
this correct?S o now with more info, my question directly pertaining to the
thread as alluded to; When you say
"Restart and install new drivers
specifying the file/location of the downloaded drivers"

Do you mean specify the location from which to install the drivers or do you
mean mean specify where the drivers are to be loaded to, as in checking that
the drivers are loading to the correct folder, sorry even writing seems
ludicrous, but i've tried much else? love to hear your thoughts thanks!!!

Specify where drivers are to be loaded from...the location that you
downloaded and saved them too and the file name.

Also, In reasearching my computer, and updating the drivers for the chipsets etc, i was looking at whether the problem could be from the ATA/ IDE controller not functioning correctly, in so doing I found a bunch of XMl documents from C:windows PChealth heatlth center udner a file called Datacoll,, is this normal, and if so would these files store the information that i could search for the problem?

OOps!
C:windows PChealth help center

right click my computer, then properties,then hardware,then device
manager,then scroll down to sound and video and game controllers,expand
selection and see if you have a yellow exclamation mark. if you have then
press update drivers with the disk that you have. you will have to select
which drive your disk is in for the device to load the drivers from.
