Thread: How do I fix my audio driver?

When I try to play music on my pc, I get a pop-up that says 'WavOutput not supported'. Recently, I had to reinstall my WindowsXP OS. It is then that I noticed that my audio driver was not working. When I was reinstalling the drivers, for some reason the audio driver was not installed; I kept getting an error saying that 'audio device not presently installed', so the driver would not install. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can remedy my lack of audio?

Thank you in advance

Good morning.

Do you have the provided CD for your motherboard? You could use that or download them from here:
