Original Question

computer speakers?

Q. i accidentally deleted the sound card, or whatever it is called, from my computer and now it says there is no audio device installed even though my speakers are connected correctly. does anyone know where i can download it??
i have windows xp

A. Right click My computer, open properties.

Select hardware, Click device manager.

The sound card's driver which you have accidentally deleted will have a yellow question mark on it indicating that this device has no drivers. You can double click and verify that it doesnt have any driver installed.

Note: Look in sound, video and game controllers

Double click the device, and then select Drivers from the window, from here you can install/update the driver.

Insert your microsoft windows cd, seach for the driver in your cd rom, windows folder, or you can ask windows to search on the internet.

Other option is to note down the name of the vendor, and open the website of the manufacturer and download the desired driver.

Hope it helps :)
