Hi,
Recently inherited a Gateway G6-400 minitower (circa 1998). The computer does not play sound. I have tried installing speakers without success. Looking at hardware profile I can see PC MultiMedia Audio Device listed which I assume is sound card but it says that drivers are not installed (code 28). If is is the drivers causing problem I need to know which drivers I need and how to get them. I am running Win98 2nd ed. but am about to upgarde to XP. Any advice? Thanks. |

Check the card it's self to get the manufacture, model, and serial #.
Also take note of the chipset as some cards are the same make and model, but with different chipsets and require different drivers. Then go to the manufacturers website to get their latest drivers for your operating system.

Try your upgrade to xp first. It may have the drivers you need - I upgraded
a G6-400 and had no sound card problems (i.e. didn't need special drivers). "Kevin Childers" wrote in message ... Check the card it's self to get the manufacture, model, and serial #.

Have a Creative Sound Blaster Live 5.1 card in a Gateway G6-350 Win98SE with no drivers but when I upgraded to WinXP Pro the drivers were installed during setup. HTH Louie Gainesville, FL, USA |
