I was trying to install a pci sound card but never could
get it to work, probably had the wrong drivers. Since then
I have installed a different sound card and I have gotten
it to work properly. The sound card isn't my problem
anymore.

My problem is that Windows still recognizes a PCI
Multimedia sound card in device manager. Every card that I
have installed is accounted for. The only cards installed
are video, networking, and sound/modem but Windows also
recognizes an unknown sound card that is not even
connected.

I have removed the unknown device by going to device
manager and then clicking on the card and clicking remove.
However, when I reboot my computer Windows recognizes the
card and prompts me to install the drivers for it. After I
click cancel, the device is listed again under device
manager.

This problem does not hinder my computer or cause any
problems with me using the computer it is just an
annoyance that I would like to solve.

Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks.
