Windows xp can't find a sound card

I installed xp svc pk2 on an intel imac (new release 2.66Ghz) running Leopard 10.5.4. I had lost the system disk that came with the computer but I had bought a stand-alone copy back in January for my older computer. I used it to load windows drivers but it seems to have not installed several of them. I was able to resolve my video card problems by installing all the latest stuff for it from the ATI website, but I'm stumped on the "no sound" problem.
Do I need to get my hands on a system disk, same issue as the one that came with my computer, or is there a driver (or even just a sound driver) package somewhere on Apples site (or anywhere else) that I can download.

I solved the problem. Thanks to advice I found in a Google search, I opened Airport Utility on my iMac, clicked on "Manual Setup". Under the Wireless tab, I changed "Automatic" channel to channel 1. That enabled the Windows OS to be connected even though Airport Utility still doesn't display on the Windows desktop. I hope this will help others with a similar problem.

  • Skype can't access my sound card

    Skype can't access my sound card. It fails every time and says "problem with recording device."
    I've tried running it as an administrator, uninstalling and reinstalling, I'm pretty sure I've turned off any realtek sound effects or enhancements. I've made sure that applications can take exclusive control, but nothing has helped so far. DirectX diagnostics attached below

    Have you removed the sound card driver via control panel and let Win7 reinstall?

  • Windows Vista can't find Firefox.exe on my hard drive, but it is there. How can I get Firefox to run?

    Windows Vista can't find the Firefox.exe program on my machine but it is right there in program files. Windows won't run it. After clicking on the short cut icon and after a delay I get an error message saying that windows can't find it. What can I do to fix this problem?

    Hey merodi,
    I dont fully understand your problem here,
    1. Did your computer shut down or 'die' or did you save and then you cant find it?
    2. Have you tried looking in spotlight (little magnifying glass up the corner)
    3. Have you tried opening the program again? In word and pages, if the program exited forcefully, opening it again will restore the document.

  • Windows 7 can´t find the driver for HP Officejet 5510. (Windows Update is set to automatic.)

    Hello everyone, I just installed Windows 7 - 64 bit. Supposedly the driver for the HP Officejet 5510 will install automatically in Windows 7 when connected via a USB, which is not happening.
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01796879&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&os=4063&product=311...
    I am getting the message that Windows 7 can't find the driver. I don´t understand why?
    My Windows Update is set  to automatic.
    I see the device under printers. But when I click on it it says driver missing.
    Is there any solution? Possibility to get the driver some other way? Unfortunately HP doesn't provide a download on their website. 
    Can anyone help me, pleease?
    Honza

    I have the same problem. I spent all this money to get more features, not less so Windows 7 should run all of my XP stuff. Now I see that my HP Officejet 5510 all-in-one won't scan and I can't save in pdf format. C'mon HP....give us a driver! If I wind up having to buy another printer, I swear it won't be an HP if I get abandoned on this one. And I'll also switch vendors for all of the printers I'm responsible for replacing at work too.

  • Where can i find the sound driver for my Toshiba Satellite U505-S2970 ?

    Where can i find the sound driver for my Toshiba Satellite U505-S2970 ?
    Please help me. 
    Thanks

    If "Realtek High Definition Audio" is listed under the "Sound, video and game controllers" in the Device Manager then that is your sound driver. Some people have had luck with uninstalling the Realtek HD audio driver from their computer via the Device Manager (be sure to check the "Delete driver software for this "), and then reinstalling it. You can get the latest version of the Realtek HD audio driver from the Realtek download site.
    Many of us who have the Realtek HD sound driver have had to make several tweaks to improve the sound. Opening the Realtek HD Manager and enabling Loudness Equalization and setting the equalizer to Powerful helps with some of the low audio issues some of us have experienced with the Realtek HD sound drivers.

  • Can a pcie-1x sound card fit into the third pcie-8x slot of P7N Platinium ?

    can a pcie-x1 sound card fit into the third pcie-x8 slot of P7N Platinium (indicated by the green arrow in the pic below) ?
    what is the intended usage or practical usage for that 3rd slot?
    Also, kindly enquire if 3 ways SLI really feasible and any driver is released and tested to support it?
    My rig specification are as follow: 1)msi p7n sli platinium, 2)intel e8400 stock cooler, 3) 2x 2GB Crucial Ballistix  DDR2 800, 4)2x msi 8800gt oc 512mb  5) acbel M8 750 6) Samsung 160gb hdd 7) Asus DRW.
    thank you. i do like this motherboard, very nice layout and the circu-pipe in particular. lack of sata ports has been compensated by purchasing a 4 sata ports controller card. if the third pcie x8 is a pcie x1 slot, that will be even better.

    Quote from: BOSSKILLER on 22-April-08, 17:31:47
    Yes you can
    great to hear that. like that, i can consider buying the Asustek Xonar D2X Audio Card PCI-E as the green indicated pcie x8 is my only unoccupied slot after using 2  gfxs (2 slots) and 1 sata controller pci card.
    thank for your prompt reply.
    cheers.

  • Can you add a sound card to Slimline s7627c?

    I am a music writer and arranger using Cakewalk software. The internal sound card in my Pavilion Slimline s7627c doesn't seem to like the full duplex requirements of recording one audio track while listening to others without crosstalk. Does anyone know if you can disable the current sound card (Realtek), and install an aftermarket card using the PCI slot currently holding the modem card (which I don't use. I use the ethernet port). Or can the current sound card be replaced?

    Have you removed the sound card driver via control panel and let Win7 reinstall?

  • HT5163 Can't find a sim card on verizon wireless iPhone 4

    I have an iPhone purchased from VerizonWireless.  I can't find a sim card to eject -- considering having phone "unlocked" so I can get international sim card

    The iPhone 4 is not an International phone.
    You will be unable to use it outside the US except in areas where Verizon has CDMA roaming partners.
    Talk to Verizon, I believe they have a program where they loan or rent your a GSM or World phone for International travels.

    Where can I find which credit card I have on file for iTunes?

    On your computer's iTunes you should be able to see your payment info by going into the Store > View My Account (Store > View My Apple ID on iTunes 11) menu option and logging into it.  If you are doing it on an iOS device (iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch) then try tapping on your id in Settings > Store (Settings > iTunes & App Stores on iOS 6) and selecting 'View Apple ID' on the popup.
