Hey

Since I reformatted my computer, my computer wont recognise my soundcard is there. I dont know what soundcard I have either. What should I do?

Is it actually a soundcard, fitted through the PCI slots or is it just a bunch of sound jacks on the back of the motherboard??

do you have the cd drivers that came with the pc?

have you tried scanning for new hardware thourgh the control panel

have a look in device manger (Right-click My Computer, click Manage, and then click Device Manager.) Take a look to see if there are any devices wthout drivers installed (will show as yellow question marks)
