The Annoying Problem...
No sound on your PC. Your Windows Audio Drivers are Corrupt, Missing or Outdated.
The Annoying Problem...Yesterday, you were hearing great sound as you played your favorite music tracks on your PC. Today... all is annoyingly quiet as absolutely No Sound is originating from your computer. You've checked that audio devices are properly connected, so what the heck is wrong?!?
Most likely, you need to update your AC'97 audio drivers.
AC'97 is an abbreviation of Audio Codec '97. At the time of its release in 1997, it was Intel Corporation's audio codec standard, mainly for use in motherboards, modems and sound cards.
However, although Intel 'invented' this audio standard, it's supported by other manufacturers such as Realtek, Acer, C-Media, VIA, SiS, and others, in their own line of products. And each device must have a MATCHING AC'97 driver. So you cannot install, say, a Realtek AC'97 driver if you have a C-Media sound card.
So why DID you lose sound? There are a couple of reasons for this?
- You made changes to your system (upgraded Windows®, installed new software, etc.) and this damaged your AC97 driver.
- You viewed video or played music from an online source and this file harmed your driver.
- Your PC crashed and this altered your driver.
- You cleaned up a virus from your system or uninstalled something that caused audio files to be removed as well.
- Your Windows registry got corrupted and it affected the driver configuration of your PC.
- You viewed video or played music from an online source and this file harmed your driver.
All these problems require one solution: you need to update your AC'97 drivers.

How DriverFinder Auto-Updates & Fixes Your PC
Top 8 Reasons Why DriverFinder Leaves Other
'Update Tools' in the Dust!
| Features | DriverFinder | Other Update Tools |
|---|---|---|
| Ease of Use | Highly-intuitive interface enables you to scan, download, update and install drivers to your PC without fuss. | Uses complicated interface. Disadvantage: You feel you need to go through a 'tech course' to use the application. |
| Scanning Efficiency | Accurately detects your PC brand & model, and ALL hardware devices connected to it, including unplugged devices such as your USB webcam, MP3 player, and more! | Misses some of your hardware devices. No support for unplugged devices. Disadvantage: You miss out on updated drivers intended for these overlooked devices. |
| Database Size | Supports more than 100,000 unique hardware devices... and counting! | Supports 50,000 unique hardware devices at most. Disadvantage: You miss out on updated drivers intended for your PC and/or driver 'updates' provided to you are old. |
| Driver Integrity | Uses a unique combination of (1) automated crawlers, (2) electronic driver file analyzers, and (3) manual checking by computer professionals BEFORE driver files are added to our database! | Uses substandard technology or applies a very manual way of finding and cataloging drivers. Disadvantage: Slow database population. Plus, this is prone to incorrect driver classification. If you download and install a driver NOT suited to your PC, this may cause your system to crash. |
| Hourly Updates! | Employs 24/7/365 automated crawlers and analyzers. If there's a driver update out there, we'll be the first to know about it! | Once-in-a-while, irregular updates; weekly checks at most. Disadvantage: The updates you get are 'old news'. |
| Download Speed | Driver downloads are sourced from manufacturers AND relayed over our hi-speed data storage infrastructure. Data storage proudly serviced by Amazon Web Sevices. | Driver downloads are sourced only from manufacturer web sites. Disadvantage: If the driver manufacturer (e.g., HP) is down, you don't get your driver. Also, a lot of driver files are HUGE. It may take a long time to download them to your PC. |
| System Compatibility | Fully compatible with all Windows OS versions, including Windows XP (32- and 64-bit), Windows Vista (32- and 64-bit), and Windows 7 (32- and 64-bit). | Most will not support 64-bit systems; one or two may support Vista 64-bit. Disadvantage: Windows 64-bit systems require 64-bit drivers. Period. If the update tool does not support your 64-bit system, the update tool is useless. |
| Customer Support | Comprehensive. Includes KnowledgeBase, online manuals, license support, FAQ and email support. Plus, we apply a 24-hour guaranteed response time for all correspondence! | Poor customer service. Disadvantage: Your questions and concerns fall on deaf ears. |
