I need some help with my new sound card. I downloaded the audio driver update from the Internet. I have Microsoft WinXP installed on my computer for a long time and everything worked fine until that. When I tried to install downloaded driver I get an error message. Now I have no sound from my DVD-RW. Do I need direct cable connection between DVD-RW drive and sound card (onboard)?
You don't need direct cable connection between DVD-RW and the onboard sound card. You can set it but I don't think that it would help you. Obviously, you have a problem with your new audio driver update. There are few reasons that could cause problem like yours. It could be an error in the process of downloading and your audio driver update file might be damaged. You should try to download it once more and than try to install it again. There is a possibility that you may not have a proper version of OS installed on your computer. Your version of driver may be for some other OS like Windows 98 or Vista. In that case, you have to find and download a proper version for Windows XP.
