If you have recently installed a fresh copy
of Windows, then you may be glad that Windows
has installed almost all of your hardware
drivers automatically. But those are the standard
drivers that bundle with Windows, and are
dated back to Windows release, means, you
are using out dated and standard drivers for
your hardware devices.
For instance, your Windows computer might
be playing sound, but if you look into Sound,
Video and Game Controller under Device Manager,
then you can see that Windows has installed
the Standard High Definition Audio Device,
and you may be missing the actual sound quality,
and feature that your sound card can provide,
but due to out dated and standard drivers,
those features will be unavailable.
What you need to do is to, install the actual
driver provided by your manufacturer, or download
the latest drivers from manufacturer's website.
Let's see how to do this, and how it will
affect your hardware working efficiency?
To download the sound drivers for your embedded
motherboard sound card, first you need to
know the exact model number of your motherboard.
For this, you can download and run this small
utility called, CPU ID. The link is given
in the description. Once you download and
installed, run the utility and let it identify
your system. Click the Mainboard tab, and
here you will find the manufacturer and model
number of your motherboard. Now, Google for
the same and download the latest drivers for
your sound card. After the download complete,
install the drivers.
Once the installation get completed, recheck
if Windows has properly installed the drivers.
Now, not only the sound quality will improve
but you may also get some more features that
your sound card may support. You may look
into Control Panel, if there is an applet
corresponding to your sound card. Open it,
and you will find a dozen of new features,
to give you a new listening experience.
So this is how updating the device drivers
can improve the performance of a device, and
updating other drivers like, the video card
drivers and chipset drivers can also improve
the overall speed of your computer.
