Sound Card Help Please!!

Morning All
I recently bought a Acer Aspire One with the 1 gig of ram and 120 gig H/D
It came with Linux installed,I duly formated and installed XP sp3 and away I went
I downloaded all the drivers from Acer and installed them
Now heres the rub there is no sound in fact the soundcard is not there at all
When I check the device manager the is a pci device and a sm bus manager with no drivers installed
Could one of these be the soundcard?
All advice greatly received!!
Many Thanks
Grant

Hi There
I downloaded the file as per the post and it says the update is older thatn the one I have installed and then it shuts down
Would it be worth uninstalling xp sp3 and reinstalling a version with sp2 only
Thanks
Grant

 

I installed XP SP3 no problem. You *must* install the chipset drivers 1st. Then run the setup programs for sound etc. I found that just installing via Device manager didn't always work.
I take it the sound did work under Linux ? (just in case it's a faulty card !!)

 

Hi
Yup sound was ok under Linux
I have uninstalled SP3 and am now installing SP2
I will install the chipset drivers first then the sound etc and see what happens
Watch this space!!!

 

You needed to extract the files as per the last post in the thread.

 

I also experienced the same problem when installing a fresh Windows XP SP3 copy into A110

Please download this patch

and use it for the Unknown PCI device, then everything works!
