No joy!! Still no sound. Next suggestion please. By the way, how did you
know that one was for the sound driver? Nothing that I saw identified it
except the similar version to the one I had. If I need to download a new
chipset driver, how do I know which of the downloads is for the chipset??
Would there be any value in running Checkdisk and defrag?
