    Hi, i have a Emachine model W5243 (Windows VistaHome) and when i got it, i formated it into windows 7 Ult... The sound owrked still until my sister in laws was testing the windows 7 and learning how to format and she make mine into W7 starter and sound stopped working after that... I format it to windows 7 ultimate again and sound didnt work... I tryed to use the recovery option of my emachine but it doesnt work i also pressed F11 like 50 times at start-up and it didnt work.. I have no recovery disk... Now i got windows 7 ult and i updated(Already Is) it but sound still not working... i disa and ena it but still not working i installed a driver scan (6 kinds)even from the official site of emachine and it was unable to detect sound or fix it.... I use trouble shooter but it was unable to detect hardware changes.... Any Ideas? Please Help!!! or could the recovery option fix it because i got no disk!!! BTW if you got a copy of W5243 or know how to fix it please leave comments!!! (Model: Emachine W5243----S/No: GC57c 400 01368) ------PLEASE HELP!!!------

    If you know the motherboard number (displayed on POST) you should be able to Google for the drivers.

    You simply have to find the drivers for your particular machine. I know eMachines sucks but if you go to their site you can still type in your machine's model number and find the drivers...

    read your user manual that came with computer as not all the same for computers from different makers.

    You downloaded the wrong software then. If it was meant for your chip it would have worked...

    What really surprises me, is that this is a fairly new PC with a fairly common audio chip. Yet Windows 7 didn't just automatically detct the driver and install it when you reformatted. I have never seen this before. It should have the driver built in, or know where to get it. Have you tried looking in Windows Updates?

    Well i did like once and installed all updates and than my pc is getting slow (After format, i block updates) and so it's just slow down my PC and i format it and blocked updates... I formated my computer like less than 30 times and more than 20 times..... Like in 4 months! It's still not working... Should i take my things in the PC apart and put it back in or what? So what should i download or i need a Emachine Recovery thing to format to it original when i first got it? BTW idk what happen but the last time i format this computer there's no updates and barely any updates and it's for only things i install like silverlight and microsoft security :/ I click to view all my updates but i only see few updates that was installed and it's mostly for my security and silverlight amd microsoft security... The only two option i have is to take apart my PC and put it together or to format it to original state and i dont even know how to get into the Emachine Recovery Option...... (Im So Mad) Pissed...

    I did that pressing F8 and not working.... And im using windows 7 ultimate right now so those programs been deleted... I got a Recovery Partition(Local Disk D) with recovery files but how do i get it to work because when i press F8 at start-up it's not working... And when i enter BIOS aettings it needed a password which i dont know it and how it been set -_-... And Other Ideas? BTW IDK if this effected my computer but when i moved those Files from my Local disk D , I formated it and moved it back so it would have more space... Idk is it's the case but i think i deleted some Hidden Folders :D(Just Noticed Right Now).... DAM ME... And Other Awesome Ideas? Or i have to contact eMachines for help? Im 13 so i dont got a phone but contact them by email -_-...
