An audio card is a crucial computer component to facilitate the input
and output of sounds to and from a computer. The audio card
enables multimedia applications in the computer such as music, audio
and video, presentation and game so that you can enjoy your favorite
music or listen to an audio book.
In the absence of an audio card driver, Windows operating system tries to install the closest matching driver available in its own driver database. The default audio/sound driver, say Windows XP audio driver, may or may not necessarily work perfectly with your audio device. Your audio card may come with its own specific set of drivers.
If the driver conflicts with the audio device, or if you do not have a driver installed in the first place, your computer will be devoid of any sound. You will not be able to enjoy music and video sound playback on your PC.
Apart from device malfunction, installing an incorrect driver may also cause your PC to run slowly due to driver conflicts. The worst case scenario, your computer may crash resulting in fatal hardware failure.
Your audio device drivers may be obtained from any of the sources below:
-
From the bundled CD that ships with your audio/sound card.
-
In case you have the audio/sound device on your motherboard itself, the drivers would be located on the motherboard driver CD.
-
Audio device/motherboard manufacturer's website, which is the most authentic source of your system's audio driver.
-
Third-party driver developer's website, for drivers that are not provided by the manufacturer-usually required when you are looking for drivers for older devices.
-
Download Driver Update Tool to automate the task of downloading and installing outdated drivers.
Once you have the driver, it can be installed through an .EXE file, if it is available, or through the Windows Device Manager.
There is a chance that drivers available on the shipped audio multimedia driver CD are outdated. Manufacturer websites also phase out drivers for older models pretty soon and make it difficult to locate older drivers.
