Sound Card Detection

[Simon]

I recently installed Windows XP into a old computer my
friend doesn't want. Everything is running perfect,
except his sound card isn't being detected, and as this
is the only place to connect my speakers, that means no
sound. Is there any program or utility I can use to
detect what card it is so I can download a driver?

Thanks in advance

Hello

Not really, what you need to find out is who is the card made
by, find that info out first and one would be able to better
help you or tell where to look for drivers. You may have to
open the box or maybe get the manual on the pc.
