    It depends on if windows has the driver for the sound card. Are you using a custom build pc or a oem? Have you tried to reinstall the driver? If you are using a OEM such as hp, dell etc tell us the model so we can help you out.

    Hi Mirak,

    Before you do anything go to System Manager and uninstall the Audio Driver. Windows has the driver stored away and will reinstall in when you reboot. Usually gets it going again. If not you are still needing to find the driver. Same for most devices.

    Good Luck,
    Jim
