    hey guys, i've just installed a new copy of windows xp pro sp2 on my comp and since i don't have my installation cd of the aspire comp i have downloaded all the aspire 5600 drivers from the acer site and after i've finished the installation of all the drivers i still can't make the sound card work !!!

    when i enter the sound card settings in the controll panel and click on the pull down of the sound devices - nothing ! just double BlueTooth sound device and Ultra BlueTooth sound device )0-:

    when i get into the device manager there are to exclamation marks (in yellow) beside the network controller and a PCI Device, are these my sound card and wireless network card that are not installed proparly ?

    yes i know something is wrong (-: my sound card isn't installed probably...
    but i was asking if there is anyone who knows how will i be able to install it - where should i get the drivers from, what is wrong with the drivers i downloaded from acer.com and is the exclamation of the "PCI Device" is the sound card - just that it's not installed or is the "PCI Device" got to do with something else.

    what sound card should my computer have ?!? couse all i see is BlueTooth Sound Device and Ultra BlueTooth Sound Device ...

    I USE WINXP Proffessional SP2

    You should have Realtek HD Audio. Hope that helps!
