Recently did a clean install of Win8 - all was well for a few days, but I had a strange buzzing noise in my attached speakers. Eventually traced it down to some dodgy wiring in a case fan, which I removed. In the process of diagnosing the problem I removed my PCI soundcard and PCI wireless card.
The soundcard is superfluous (it has no 64bit drivers available: Santa Cruz Turtle Beach) so I removed it and will use the onboard audio for the moment. I replaced the Wireless card into the same PCI slot it came from.
Rebooted the PC and it has now lost all my drivers: Audio, Video and Wireless. I've tried to "re-update" the drivers using previously downloaded codecs, but the wizard just claims I have the most up to date drivers.
Any ideas what
a) caused this?
b) I can do to fix it!?
I do have a new graphics card arriving this week, which will have HDMI out, so will be using that to carry Audio and Video to my TV which it's currently connected to - but I'll need to persuade the wireless drivers to work! Am I looking at a complete re-install?
