    upgraded to win 7, onboard sound driver not installed/reconised


    I'm using an old time computer. I recently upgraded it to win 7 from xp. The sound didn't work. I checked in device manager and it said that it was a multimida audio controller, but has no driver. I tried driver update, didn't work. If it helps my motherboard says n1996 on it.

    ok I went to the downloads page and too the driver section, selected windows vista as it was the closest. I ran the setup program with compatibility mode and it installed fine. It restarted my computer but nothing had changed. I still have no sound
