There are two ways to update the sound card drivers:

> Manual update If you have computer skills you can try to manually update the audio driver by first accessing the manufacturer's website to download the updated driver and then install it on Windows

> Automatic update If you don't have the time or technical skills to manually update your sound card drivers, we recommend that you rely on Driver Easy. Driver Easy is a program that does everything independently: it searches, installs and updates the drivers for your computer. Here's how it works.

3) Click the button Update next to the marked audio driver to automatically download and install the correct version of it.

If you notice that you have too many outdated drivers click on the bottom right Update everything to automatically download and install the correct version of all the drivers of your Windows PC (you will be asked to purchase the “Pro” version to activate this function).
