Sound Card Conflicts

To check your sound card for conflicting settings:

2. Double-click the System icon, then choose the Device Manager tab.
3. Double-click Sound, Video, and Game Controllers, then double-click your specific sound card.

If you purchased your sound card before the release of Windows 95, you may obtain updated drivers from a variety of places. Most hardware retailers have access to the most recent drivers. Additionally, most manufacturers maintain a website, which contains the latest drivers for free downloading. Drivers are also available on CompuServe, America Online, The Microsoft Network, and other popular online networks. Many manufacturers also maintain a direct-dial BBS with up-to-date drivers.
