Instructions
Step 1
First, open the Device Manager menu. It can be accessed from the control panel or through the properties of the "My Computer" menu. Check the list of connected equipment. Find the names of the devices marked with an exclamation mark. In this case, it is a sound card. This means that the correct driver is not installed for it.
Step 2
Right-click on the name of the card and select "Update Drivers". Click on the option "Search for and install drivers automatically". Wait for the definition of existing drivers. To carry out this process, you need access to the Internet.
Step 3
In the situation where the automatic search for drivers did not bring any results, find them yourself. Go to the official website of the manufacturer of this sound card model. Find the "Drivers" or "Software" section in it. Download programs and drivers suitable for your sound card and operating system. Install them.
Step 4
Sometimes it can be difficult to find the drivers yourself. In such situations, it is recommended to use ready-made databases. Download and install Driver Pack Solution.
Step 5
Start it up. Immediately after launch, the program will start scanning your devices, at the same time detecting the presence of suitable drivers. In the left column of the program, select the "Expert Mode" and "Install Drivers" items.
Step 6
To prevent problems during driver installation, select the "Silent installation" and "Install incomplete drivers" options. Now open the "Drivers" tab.
Step 7
Highlight the driver packages you want to update or install. Click the Install button. Wait for this process to complete. Reboot your computer. This is required in order to use some of the installed drivers.
