sound drivers

[bunze]

It's easy to update video drivers... go to nvidia.com and download them, and I', sure its the saem for sound drivers but I have no clue what sound card i have, who makes it etc. How do I figure this out and then update my drivers?

thanks

Go into Control Panel -> System -> Hardware -> Device Manager -> Sound, video and game controllers - it should be listed in there (Y)

Start, Control panel, System, Hardware tab, Device manager, scroll down to Sound-Video and Game Controllers. Your audio drivers are listed there.

How do I know which ones to update :(

If you have an OEM card (from Dell, Hp, etc.) you'll need to use their drivers.

Yes, what is the model number of the computer itself (Gateway XXXXX)?

[bunze]
