I recently had to format my hard disk and reinstall Win98. I don't know how to re-enable the sound card, as I don't know manufacturer and the controller is not automatically detected.

Is it an on board sound card? Or is on it's own card in a PCI slot or what ever?

It is listed in the Device Manager tab as PCI Multimedia Audio Device.Quote:

It looks like an integrated sound card. The motherboard is K7S5A by ECS and it's described hereQuote:

I've found and downloaded WDM_A376.exe and now the sound card is successfully installed and everything is back to normal.Quote:
