# you confuse me.
The driver must be for a specific hardware product so you need the manufacturer's driver and not a 'generic' one.
Are you thinking of codecs?

# You get generic drivers
for things like webcams, that make the basic features work but probably ignore any fancier proprietary features.

# I understand that.
I'm just confused as to what a multimedia driver is. There must be a product?

# i'm not sure of the make of the sound card

# Can you open up the computer
and look at the sound card? It might have the manufacturer and model printed on it.

# ah ok, a sound card.
watch this space.

download the free lite version of this

www.sisoftware.co.uk/index.html?dir=&location=downandbuy&langx=en&a=

read the report and find the bit about the audio card and see whet it reports. It may have a link to the manufacturer if it recognises the card.

Sadly there are too many platforms ( soundmax, cmedia, soundblaster etc. ) that are not similar in operation so a 'one driver fix' is unlikely.
