Multimedia Audio Controller

[DaxInside]

Hi gents

This isn't directly related to my new PC but these forums have been so helpful I thought id ask for some help here.

Since I got my new PC from PCS I have decided to sell my old one. Im trying to get sound working on it again as I reformatted and installed windows.

I couldn't get the onboard sound to work on the motherboard (ASUS P5N32-e SLI Plus) so I bought a cheap Creative sound card off ebay (Creative Internal PCI Sound Card (CT4750)).

Now I can't find drivers for windows 7 because the card isn't made any more. In device manager the only option I have is Multimedia Devices which is under other devices. When I try to update the driver it says none can be found. Driver genius doesn't detect it as missing either.

Under sound controllers I have my GPUs entrys but I don't want to use these.

Any tips would be great. Im banging my head off a wall trying threads from 6 years ago about how to sort this out in windows 2000 etc. I have downloaded what I think are the correct creative drivers in compatability mode but they say I dont have the correct hardware.

Id rather use onboard sound but I just want some sound

This may do it: http://ccftp.creative.com/manualdn/Drivers/Others/977/SBPCI128Setupus.exe
Old CT driver's are extremely hard to get.

Thanks for the link. I tried it but got the error 'Setup was unable to detect the full set of files required for the sound blaster PCI123 (drivers only) web update program.'

Have you installed windows7 If so I doubt if you will get that soundcard to work,
try running the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor.It scans your hardware, devices, and installed programs for known compatibility issues,

Ill do that, thank you.

Not to worried about the sound card but I need some kind of sound. Any ideas why my motherboard sound isn't showing up?

Again,might be compatability issue with windows7,or you may just need need a driver,have you any of the original disks for your old computer & what are the gpu entries in sound video and game controllers in device manager.

Look's like Windows 7 is'nt supported. The last driver release was for Vista 64-bit. If you wanted to try it, It's available here:

I tried that driver but it didn't work.

I think im going to sell the PC without sound and let the new owner buy a card that suits their needs.

Thanks for the help once again.
