no audio device on my computer?

I know this is a silly question but I will ask it all the same. did you restart after every driver install?

I've come across people who bring in their computers for various issues (No audio drivers being one of them) and it went away after I restarted the computer twice.

Also if you can spare the extra 20 dollars and you are not running an Overclock system where heat is an issue... I suggest not turning your computer off at all... You'll find mixed emotions about that but if you research it you'll see that your CPU cooling off and heating up isn't good for it. and "Chip creep" can occur as well as problems like the one you're suffering from.

If you can't find a right audio driver manually, you can try this link:

There is a program I use which will find drivers for just about all hardware devices. The best part is it takes a snapshot of your system specifications and matches the right driver to go with it.
