I've got an old PC which I inherited.

I've got all the drivers installed, except for sound. Is there an easy way for me to find out what drivers I need without taking the side off the case and taking down some serial numbers etc?

Perhaps a bit of software I can run which will tell me which card I have installed?

Three main options to try.

1 - run windows update it will quite often find and update non windows drivers as well.

2 - right click my computer, Manage, device manager, select the relevant device right click select update drivers.

3 - download sisoftsandra and get that to do it. Clicky

Hope that helps

Thanks for the reply.

I had already tried updating the driver from device manager. I'm downloading the recommended software now. :)
