  1. I have uninstalled my audio drivers and cannot get them back.


    I am having a problem with my audio drivers. I was hearing muffled audio while the mic was in use, so I decided to reinstall my audio drivers. I have done this before, and the method I use is uninstalling the driver through the device manager and letting windows restore the driver after rebooting my computer. Everything was fine and audio was working properly until my audio stopped working and told me to restart once again. I did, and now have no sound from the audio jacks nor the built-in speakers. Audio through USB and HDMI are still fully functional though. Many past articles have not helped me due to them requiring restoration of drivers using driver update or driver rollback, but I do not have access to those tools due to my drivers being nowhere to be found. I am not sure which brand audio drivers it was and do not know how to figure it out. Please and Thanks for the help.

    :)

  2. How do you uninstall chipset drivers?

    I'm installing a new mobo so I need to uninstall the intel 865g drivers to make way for the P35 drivers.

    Can't find any uninstall options in add/remove programs and intel chipset inst listed in driver cleaner.

    Any suggestions? *Confused I have uninstalled my audio drivers and cannot get them back. :confused:
