sound card not recognized
I was following the steps outlined here https:/
when I ran step two, my problem became worse and I lost all sound and the system doesn't even know there is a sound card.
My goal is to get my headphones and desktop speakers working. In addition, I want to make sure the microphone is working for Skype calls and the like.
Thanks in advance.
