yes,

If you have a dell or something like that you can get a driver from the website of the computer manufacturer.

or If you have a homemade computer you can try the website of the motherboard manufacturer.

Either way you need to know the model# of the computer(first option) or motherboard(second option).

it's a custom-built computer...

do you know the manufacturer/model# of the motherboard?

You will probably have to open up your computer and take a look if you dont.

go to the mobo manufacturers computer and they will have the driver

If the mobo manufacturer's website doesn't specify an audio driver, install the chipset driver.

Indeed... I just did a reformat and had the same issue. I had to go to my mobo's site to get the audio drivers. Two minutes later, everything's working like a charm.

Did the MoBo come with a disk? If so it should have drivers on it. If you dont' know what Mobo you have or any info there are free tools out there that will detect it. do a google search should be easy to find.

Open the Case, look at the mobo and post info here

ie.

ASUS "A8N-SLI Deluxe" ver 1.0

This way they can help you better and maybe even give you a link.
