    Well I mean... did you install the audio driver? Lack of an audio driver would probably deny you an "audio device"... just maybe?

    If you did install the driver, though, you might be looking at a hardware fault...

    I just let the disk install. How do I find out if the driver is installed? And if not, where do I find it? If it is installed, how do I make it frunction?
