Multimedia Audio Controller

[Guest s-barling@hotmail.com]

Can someone please help me out. I have had an issue with my sound. I had to

partition my computer after my computer crashed and then i had to reinstall

the windows xp. After i had reinstalled windows xp, i had no sound. So i

decided to go check the device area and update/reinstall and there was a

button for reinstall. just before i was going to reinstall, i was reading in

the general area of the multimedia audio controller that " the drivers for

this device are not installed. So i hit the reinstall button then i would do

the regular search, not the specific location, and then i would click next

and then it would take a second and then it would come back and say " the

hardware was not installed because the wizard cannot find the necessary

software. Then what i try to do is roll back the driver and then it says " No

driver files have been backed up for this device. Then i look at the driver

details and it says " No driver files are required or have been loaded for

this device. If someone could help me out i would appreciate it very much.

Thank you, s-barling

Somewhere in that paragraph, you mention "reinstall". That would

suggest a bunch of drivers would be missing. If the computer has

a make and model number, perhaps you can go to the web site

of the company that sold it to you, and download a driver ?

You need the drivers for the sound card. It is quite likely part of the

motherboard. If on the motherboard you need to obtain the driver CD for the

motherboard or download the sound drivers off the internet.
