    Hey guys, today I recently put in a new hard drive for my Acer 6935G. Installed the operating system and loaded all my programs fine. But my sound doesn't work!
    I'm sure that it must be a software problem because I have no sound software on my computer - It must be Realtek?
    Windows 7 didn't automatically load drivers for me, nor does it want to if I try force it. :p

    Does anyone know what software/things I can do to fix it? Windows does not detect any sound at all. Thanks!

    You'll need to get the sound drivers from Acer's website. No doubt a few other things are missing too eg. touchpad functions, media buttons, wifi, etc.

    I had a similar problem once, just went onto the realtek web site and downloaded the updated driver for my sound card and that was that.

    I tried to download the drivers from RealTek, but they would stop downloading on the last second. And I tried to download from Acer website and they refuse to work. (No drivers for Win 7 64 bit, so had to resort to using win vista 7 64 bit.

    Is there someplace else that I can download the drivers from?
