Just formatted, and I don't have any sound?

I had this issue once before and someone here gave me a link to download audio drivers I think.

Could someone please provide it again? Thank you

 

We need to know your sound card or chipset before we can give you a link to the driver.

 

I'm not quite sure what it is. If I run a benchmark on my system with Everest, would that be sufficient enough to point me in the right direction?

 

Yup. Never used it but the website says it's a diagnostics tool which is what you want. Aida32 is another program you could use. under Audio you should get the model of your card.

Driver

After a bit of research I found someone with the same Audio Controller using this driver. Give it a try.
