difficulty finding sound drivers (unknowndeviceidentifier is wrong)
I often have difficulty getting the correct sound drivers for PCs that need to have a windows reinstallation…
A short while ago, I started using “unknowndeviceidentifier” but it seems to get the chipset totally wrong lately (eg on an asus p4s800-mx se mobo, it said it was a sis 7012 sound chip, but from the asus website, it turns out to be an ALC655 chipset)
Downloading the 7012 driver from sis just didn’t work, but going to the asus website and downloading the driver for the exact model of mobo worked perfectly…
I guess its really important to download drivers from the correct place first.
Luigi, remind me to give you a copy of my driver collection.
I have a DVD full of drivers for pretty much everything. All you need to do is stick the DVD in (assuming there’s a DVD drive, if not you can split the files into CDs) and it’s worked for 99% of the stuff I’ve needed.
It’s awesome for rebuilds, new installations, etc.
Is there any way I can get a copy of your driver dvd ?
Hi Alan.
Have a look at driverpacks.net
I also mention it at:

Some assembly required 😉
