Sampson 0 Posted August 25, 2004 You will need to help us out a little with some more information. Why don't you list the computer you are using (name of computer type and number, for example Compaq Presario 4414), the sound card you have (if it is an onboard card or an add-in), the program you brought up to listen to the music (winamp, real, windows media player).

adamvjackson 0 Posted August 25, 2004 The computer model is usually a 3-4 digit number on the front or back of the PC. If you are unable to find this model number, it may be necessary to contact Compaq support, as they can correctly identify which model PC and soundcard you have, so you can get the correct driver.
