My hd decided to die so I got myself a new one, the thing is I now have no sound

I have a disc MSI 5.1 DVD that came with my motherboard does this contain the drivers? but I have lost the serial no anyway.

Can anyone help?, can I use a different driver for the onboard sound?

Try and get the fccid off the mainboard (if it's not a "well know" make such as Asus, Abit etc)

Or if it is a known make go the their site and you should find drivers for the onboard sound there..

Oh, the fccid should be either a sticker or printed on the pcb somewhere

Have a look here http://www.soundcard-drivers.com/companies/671.htm

While your here, did you ever get that STi keyring off CraigH?, I'm still waiting for my STi stickers to turn up
(He hasn't cashed the cheque though..)

Oh, fccid, have a look here http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid/

If you want to know who made something get the fccid code from it and this site will tell you
Everything capable of transmitting radio frequency when in use should have one, check under your mouse

Don't worry Craig gets busy and can be a little forgetfull, he will sort it out for you.

Will that site cater for onboard sound drivers?
