How to identify audio driver

I come across to many systems where the hard drive is formatted, windows installed
but no installer (driver) cd to return back sound. Thanks to windows xp VGA, USB
and many drivers are included, but the audio driver is required. I can find the same
system model installer Cd but this is difficult. How can I identify the required
audio driver cd in this formatted and windows installed system, so that I can go
google and download the audio driver only, or look from other system's drivers? 10Q
in advance.

Identify the video card (in Device manager, or actually written on the card) if there
is one, or the Mobo (if there is no card) and then hunt on the Internet for the appropriate
drivers. Its not hard.
In the case of laptops its usually easiest to go the the PC maker's website with
the exact model number.
Or use one of the many free utilities to identify the drivers (but frankly I find
them more trouble than they are worth).

All you do is enter the vendor and device id numbers and it will tell you exactly
what it is.

Sorry Mr Steve
No such websites appear to be existing.
