where can i find the appropriate sound card driver

Expand Post »
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 ?

Re: where can i find the appropriate sound card driver

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

Re: where can i find the appropriate sound card driver

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.

Re: where can i find the appropriate sound card driver

well not having a good connection, the fastest way to get the driver the better. by the way do u have some good site for driver downloads. I have a mainboard that needs updates to install win xp pro and it has all onboard.
modem, sound card, video card, lan etc.

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

...you didn't start the thread so how do you know what's best for that user? Catweazle IS giving sound advice, much better than yours in this case...a lot of people read this site so when you give bad advice to one person it could be like giving bad advice to thousands.

This could be a good place to start to find that driver: http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Motherboa...river_List.htm
