This is an almost complete collection of Windows sounds, along with sounds from related programs.
When Windows reboots it will find a new multimedia device, when it offers to search for the driver direct it to the 'Sound' folder and it should install.NOTE: This has been superseded by the OS Sound Kit, which you can download at: It has many more sounds, including non-Windows sounds! However, you can still download this. Then you have to go to the Device Manager, find the multimedia (?) device under 'Other' and remove it, then reboot.
It will unpack itself into a group of files in the 'Sound' folder. It will install the driver for your sound card, then you reboot and you're done.Ģ. make a new folder on your hard drive called 'SOUND' or something like that, download the exe file into it and when the download is finished double click the exe file. I don't understand what the error messages meant. I think that's the original sound card - CT4670 is Creative's part number as opposed to the Gateway part number.ĭo you recall what new drivers were downloaded or what new hardware it found? Reloading is often required after each download.
Sound Blaster Live! Value Sound Card That should narrow it down!Įdited by Rimmer, 23 June 2005 - 09:50 PM. It looks like my guess was wrong as another Gateway page shows your PC original configuration which includes: Or if you type in your serial number and select your operating system it will take you to a page with a bunch of sound drivers available. there is an automated driver update button 'Gateway Update' that looks like it should do the trick. Everest sometimes gives you links to a driver update site - see what it says about the motherboard.ĮDIT - you may not need to bother with that, check the Gateway site. My guess is your sound would be onboard (part of the motherboard) so look for something associated with AC'97. Run Everest then look under 'motherboard chipset', and 'multimedia' and anywhere else you see related to sound.
There are free programs which help identify the components of your PC:ĭownload the system analysis program 'Everest' so you can get detailed information about your system: You said it is a Gateway PC - I'm not familiar with those PC's but that number you quoted looks more like a serial number than a model number. So we need to identify your sound card and then track down a driver for it frm the internet. Windows is not recognising your sound card and cannot find a driver for it - so its parked it in 'Other devices'.
