go to device manager....look for the hardware that doesn't have a
driver in the list...should have a yellow mark on them

is....if its not something like a dell or hp

if it is a like a dell or hp....tell us the model number...it should be
listed somewhere on the computer or bottom of the laptop...if its a laptop

See if Windows Upodate picks it up. Failing that I would look up the
motherboard model # if its a no name PC. If its name brand visit hp, dell,
etc and enter the model #.

Hi Frosty
Normally I dont use Updates , believing the formula
that "If it aint broken-don't fix it".
Well , this time did update, but it didn't help..

Thanks Frosty

The Realtek driver should work much better than whatever Windows offers
up for an audio driver.

When I got my PC built by CA, they must have used what ever Windows
selected during the setup. Consequently I did not have the "record what
you hear" option available. After finding the installation disk that
came with the Asus MB, the problem was solved. Realtek is one of the
few audiocards that offers this option because big brother doesn't want
you recording anything off the internet.
