where can i find the appropriate sound card driver
![]() |
Hi. I'm using windows xp 2005 . The problem is , everytime I try to run a cd/vcd to watch a movie , I get an error message after about 2 minutes of starting - " There was an I/O device error " - . I have had my sound card built-in with the gigabyte motherboard and have'nt used any drivers for the sound-card as I've used xp . How can I get rid of this problem ?

Which Gigabyte motherboard? It must have a model number, and probably also has a revision number. They'll be printed on the board somewhere.
PS: Please don't tell us it's a 'Triton' or somesuch - that'd be the product line, not the model number

No. Heading to the Gigabyte website, armed with the correct motherboard id, is the choice of preference.
Driverguide is fine as a last resort when you are seeking drivers, but heading there as a first option is a silly move. The manufacturer website is the correct place to locate the most appropriate and up to date drivers for any component whatsoever.

Did you read my previous post? Identify the motherboard. Go to the motherboard manufactuyrer's website for the drivers!
