Raccoon1400 Posted October 10, 2008 Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 I just did a repair (upgrade) install to fix a problem in the registry. That problem is now fixed, but now my sound card is not seen by the computer.I have a dell running Vista. The card is Sigma tel. It does not show up in device manager now, the only thing under the sound card section is a high definition audio codec.How can I get the computer to see my sound card so I can install it?

ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted October 10, 2008 Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 Try http://www.drivermax.com/ - it can find devices and supplies the latest drivers. (Only 32-bit Windows, no 64-bit.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
