I've finally had enough with my old C drive, so I put in a nice new 150 gig HDD and installed windows, by this point I've just about got everything back to normal.. except I can't get any sounds to play

I know, I need to update drivers or something.. but this is all I see in the device manager:

and if I try to update the drivers for either audio codecs or the legacy audio drivers, it says that I already have the best..

and yes, I have my speakers plugged in and turned on

oh man...
it turns out my old C drive is corrupted now, and I can't get any of my stuff off it, which is kinda a big deal to me, it had a lot of the graphics I've made, and some I've been commissioned to make..

so, does anyone know of anyway to retrieve even just one file from a corrupt hard drive?

its very very important

I can't remember the name of the program (searching right now) but it scans your computer and reads your drivers, then matches them to a database and lets you know if you need to update. I think the scan part is freeware, but the actual update requires you buy the program.

So you could do that...or obtain it any way you see fit. I did this a few months back when my sound wasn't working too. You need a net connection obviously...

"restorer 2000 pro" made it a breeze to recover my files, so easy to use, took a while, but thats expected
it also recovered over 53,000 files out of just over 54,000

so, I really recommend it if anyone else ever has troubles like this
