Tips & Warnings
If your sound does not work properly after installing a new driver, install a different driver. If eMachines does not host an audio driver for your computer, visit the website for your sound card's manufacturer to download and install a driver. It is safest to download drivers from a manufacturer directly instead of using modified drivers from third party sites.
Installing bad drivers may cause computer crashes.
