need help finding C-Media AC97 Audio Device

The sound does not work on my computer and in the devices panel I get the
yellow cirlce with an exclamation point on the C-Media AC97 Audio device.
Where can I download it from so I can re-install it (without having to
purchase an application to do it for me)?

Try your computer manufacturer's website.

You have a ECS mother board. That is the on chip audio device.
http://www.ecsusa.com/ is the site where I download stuff for my ECS board.
Find the model number of your board before you visit the site.
Good luck.

Thanks but when I went to the cmedia site it led to the Software Detective
site, which wanted me to pay for an application. I went to the Realtek site
and downloaded a Realtek AC97 driver which worked for me. Thank you.
