Sound Issues on Striker Extreme, Drivers won't install

Alexinator · 03-31-2007, 02:28 PM

I can't seem to get my sound card which came with the Striker to operate at all.

When I go to install the drivers, I get this: "The HDA Audio Driver is Required and not Found." I click okay and set-up quits.

Additionally, there are three devices under "Other Devices" in device manager, and they clearly don't belong there. (They have the big yellow question marks next to them). And they are, "PCI Device" (assuming that's my sound card...), Universal Serial Bus (USB) Controller (assuming that's my chassis USB connectors) and a third, "Uknowen Device" which I have no idea what that is.

Any thoughts on how to fix my audio? The Chassis speaker is getting to be annoying XD

What model is the sound card?

It's a SoundMax ADI1988 I believe. I'm just trying to work out the kinks in this new system, trying to get it in tip top shape. Try and break my current 10.2k 3Dmarks

.

Right now I have to install SP2, and then I can install the HDA drivers, which in turn should allow me to install the SoundMax drivers. I hope.

Do you have the latest BIOS?
