You have to put the driver in, otherwise it doesn't know the sound card is there.

If you are using XP this should work. Not sure about other versions.

Right click My computer, then left click properties, then click hardware, then click device manager and click on the plus sign on sound and video devices.Look for your sound card e.g.creative audigy, terratec.Click on that and then click driver and then on update driver and load your disc.

If you go to CONTROL PANEL>SYSTEM>HARDWARE>DEVICE MANAGER you'll see some objects with a question mark or an X, double click and select the driver options, then search auto & manually on the disk/internet for them.

Also go to the MS Update site, as this automatically updates drivers as well.
