Hi having installed win 7 on a SATA XP machine - HP 7100C (specs are good),
I find no sound and of course no drivers. I stuck in a Sound blaster lying around in the hopes it would work. No go.

Will it be possible to get drivers for this?


Thanks
!
 
got the solution. uninstalled the sound card and turned onboard audio.

Now, believe it or not I found a real honest to God genuine driver finder, amongst all the do nothing crap. I was at a Microsoft site for help and this guy recommended doing Windows Upgrader and I ended up on a pay site after the program actually found all the drivers including for audio. Program cost about $30, but found the right card and drivers. Works great now. so anyone in the same predicament, Try Driver Update, if you want to shell out the bucks :)
