How to update audio driver

Windows XP Hardware >> How to update audio driver Hi,

I recently revived an old computer by reloading the operating system.
The only missing link is the sound. I can see the creative audigy
processor and Legacy Audio Driver under hardware, but no audio device
is found. I tried to update the driver and now I see "EMU10KxAudio."
I do not think this is what I need. I used to have a CD for
Soundblaster, but of course, I cannot locate it now. Can I purchase
this somewhere?

My computer is probably four years old and is a HP Pavillion 554e. I
could trash this computer, but have been curious in solving computer
issues and this is my first "project". Kind of like a motorhead with a
"project car" only my kids call me a geek.

Also, the power supply fan sounds loud (not clunky) but just like lots
of air. Do I need to replace this?

Speaking of clunky. My computer says "TURN OFF CLUNKER" at the bottom
of the sign-on screen. Is this an omen?

Thanks for the help!

Aspiring to be a geek.....

SoundBlaster.

Windows XP Hardware >> How to update audio driver As for the fan, i wouldnt worry about the noise....unless the pc is being in
a situation where noise is a nuisance (ie: media center pc and such). But
seeing as its a "project" i wouldnt worry about the noise so much as i would
worry about outputting unstable voltages :)
