Hi,
Which m/board, chipset or soundcard are you using?

Hi,
Just looked and c-media don't list your model, so a visit to the motherboard manufacturers w/site could help.

Ok, found this. C-Media 9739A driver - C-Media Sound Card Drivers - CMI9739A.exe will need to free register. Also sounnds like this is happening a bit, and not just with win7. You can also try using compatibility wizard ( right click the install file and click troubleshoot compatibility, then run using recommended settings) this worked for some of the asus drivers on mine.
Cheers,

Didnt work mate ty for replying ;/
Well it only happened on Win 7 never had probs on Vista or XP

 

[roth227]

Try installing the Realtek HD audio drivers, they seem to be working with the cmedia chipset on other systems. Realtek

 

[roth227]

whats the manufacturer of the motherboard mate? I'll do some digging

 

[badboy766]

Instaled the Realitech driver and when the windows powered up gave me a blue screen and i had to do a system restore ;/
so that didnt work eighther
My motherboard ID - Motherboard ID 08/04/2004-nVidia-nForce-JL61BC6CC-00
Motherboard name - Chaintech 7NJL6
this is the info hope it helps you

Got another one for you to try then, my god this took some finding, I can see how difficult youre finding it. anyway Link Removed - Invalid URL click on the 'external mirror link and it will download a zip containing the mainboard audio drivers. You may still need to use the compatibility wizard. Good luck.
