i believe i am missing the dll. for drivers, but i have downloaded and installed all the drivers and software but wont work, btw i have winXP and realtek ac97, i even tried a new sound card, bought creative sound blaster and installed but had error and it couldn’t complete install, and when i try to adjust volume it says no mixer installed, what do i do?
after you tried to install the second sound card (Sound Blaster), did you remember to turn off the AC’97 in the BIOS?
If you didn’t, the pc will be most likely trying to install the AC’97, which is broken.
If you have a Sound Blaster, i would use that; better quality.
If you’re feeling adventurous, backup the PC, and wipe everything – including XP. Then reinstall (not the “Repair”), and start from scratch!
It gives you a faster, cleaner system and no virues !
Good Luck

uninstall everything related to all sound cards. remove all sound cards and retry all over again. trust me
This is a small detail that everyone besides me has overlooked…
“I had a virus and had to do a system restore”
Knowing the nature of Viruses, Trojans, etc & that they store themselves in System Restore. Then when you use system restore it puts these right back on your computer on the next bootup…
So when you did a restore all you did was restore some of your system’s settings, but the viruses still remain on your computer…
This is the reason you are having Driver problems, and program installation problems…First you need to clean out your computer of all the crap (viruses, Trojans, etc) using a good (Updated) AntiVirus program…
Then install your drivers…Make sure to disable system restore while removing the viruses, then reboot, then create a new restore point…
first u check up your speaker and cable of speaker, if it is OK then
uninstall sound card, and then install new sound card.
If problem not solved,
Install win xp (Over write), again uninstall and install all driver and sound card.
If problem not solved,
save all data in different drive (d, e,f…._) now format drive c, install win XP and all driver incl. sound card.
now problem must solved….
Otherwise remove all data make partition again and install all programme.
Check sound card in other PC.
make sure sound card slot is OK in your mother board, U may use other slot of your mother board.
at last Your mother board may be faulty, it can not configure your sound card..
OK…..
