Hello everyone
I have a query related to my new sound card
First of all here are my PC specifications:
Motherboard: Gigabyte Dh61ww Intel desktop board
Processor: Intel core i3 - 2100
RAM: 2GB Kingston DDR3
Video Card: (on board) Intel (R) HD Graphics family
Sound card: ESS 1969
Former sound card: Realtek HD audio
OS: Microsoft windows XP Professional
Now here is my problem:
A week ago my PC was working really fine
But suddenly there was no sound output.
I plugged in headphones - No sound, I plugged in my 5.1 system - No sound
So i thought there might be a problem with the audio jack
So I tried the one on the front panel...Still no sound.
So there was only one possibility left..My sound card
I gave it to my local computer service center
After 2 days they contacted me and said that the motherboard was sent to intel and they reported that the sound card had burned for some unknown reason and they wouldn't fix it...
After that I had two options...either to buy an internal sound card OR send the board to another service center...I agreed to buy a new sound card that is the 'ESS 1969'
So I got back my CPU today...and there's some problems with the sound
1.You can hear sounds, But it doesn't sound like it did before. It sounds like a degraded version of what i used to hear in my previous sound card. It sounds like mono output
2.A very low pitched static sound can be heard when no sound is being played.
3.The sound drivers were already installed. But I decided to re-install anyways as there could have been a problem in the sound drivers. I inserted the given drivers CD and tried to install the drivers but wasn't able to
This is a screen of the audio driver CD

'autorun' just open a command prompt type window for a split second
and there's no 'exe' files in the whole disc.
What should I do?
What am I doing wrong?
