I don't understand your problem.

Did you re-install Windows (formatted?) and now the sound card doesn't work? Then, you must re-install the sound card drivers also. The sound card should have come with a CD. Otherwise you can download "SlimDrivers" (a free utility) that will find, download and install all the up-to-date drivers for your system. Just Google the name for a download location.

The term "format" is misused. You can format a hard drive. But, you can't format a computer. People say format when they mean install an Operating System (like Windows).

Good Luck

i mean i bought a new sound card installed it..and the computer read it as a pci device and then i installed realtek audio driver and it worked perfetly but due to virus i re-installed windows and then in device manager it said multimedia audio controller found even when i installed the same driver the one which worked earlier perfectly fine.

friend, there is no point of installing the driver because the computer is reading the soundcard as a MULTIMEDIA AUDIO CONTROLLER instead of PCI DEVICE like earlier when it worked
