Guest s-barling@hotmail.com Posted October 3, 2008 Posted October 3, 2008 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

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 ? Paul
Guest Jason Posted October 3, 2008 Posted October 3, 2008 Re: Multimedia Audio Controller 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.
