A couple of weeks ago I was trying to figure out why my computer was running slower. I did all kinds of scans to find viruses, etc and found nothing, so I decided that the problem was probably some programs that had been installed that I didn’t actually need that were running in the background. So I uninstalled a couple of programs that didn’t look familiar and then all of a sudden my CD/DVD drive no longer produced sound! Oops!

Realizing that I must have accidentally uninstalled an important driver, but not know which driver and how to figure it out and fix it I turned to the powers that be at google and did a search for Computer Drivers. It took a while for me to figure out that I needed one of the Audio Device Drivers or one of the Sound Drivers; I just still wasn’t quite sure which one I needed.

Fortunately I found a link to a down-loadable software program that runs a diagnosis of my computer and told me which driver I needed and then helped me to download it. It wasn’t free, but it was well worth it! Problem solved!
