I bought a 8400GS PCI card last night, install it and the other day my sound disappeared right after installing it. So i did some search, downloaded my onboard drivers, ac97. So anyways, now maybe about 20mins ago after install a new monitor, the sound disappeared.

I have notice, when i uninstall my drivers are not install for my card, and when i am in the process of installing them ( safe mode, restarting windows, etc ) i hear some weird noise in my headphones, can't explain it, but it sounds strange.

Does anyone have any idea what to do, also where i can find my sound drivers?
Because the ones that i downloaded before, is not working anymore:

For Windows ME users. These drivers work perfectly on my Intel III 800 machine. Unzip Ichaud.sys and copy to your Windows\System32\Drivers folder. Copy the other two, VMM32.VXD and MMDEVLDR.VXD, to the Windows\System directory. Reboot and you are set.

The first time i did that, the sound came back, now its not working

Muhahahaha

Maybe you should just upgrade your computer...

Sorry, but I doubt the drivers for your hardware are even actively maintained anymore. I wouldn't be surprised if there are strange problems when the old hardware is combined with modern hardware.

I hope i can fix it If the 8400GS is causing issues with my onboard sound, well i do have 2 extra sound cards, diamond and soundblaster, so i might have to install them if i can't fix the issue. But , if the 8400GS is causing issues, this would be the first card that ever did it.

Either way this card is not going back to the store, this is the best PCI card out. Anyways, thanks.

The sound came back, don't know really how, but i was installing a sound driver from my windows98se disc and i heard the sound come back in my headphones and restarted my computer and now its back.

I just have to keep an eye on it, thats all.
You have read my specs on my rig right? I don't have options like that haha.

No thanks, i am happy with my new shinny 8400GS.
