Missisg audio due to missing SM Bus Controller?

[Phoenix_306]

Hi guys - first time posting here, hope i'm not breaking any rules by being in the wrong forum or something!!!!

Anyway - i'm well and truly stumped. Recently i formatted my PC and reinstalled XP. This was all great until i tried to play an mp3 to discovered i had no audio!!

I've tried everything since - audio drivers etc etc, but nothing seems to work.

According to the device manager, I have a couple of big yellow exclamation marks next to SM Bus Controller and SIS 7018 Audio driver. I've tried to reinstall
the audio driver but it won't let me, and i can't find the Bus controller driver!!!

gahhhh! help me please!!!!

Please find below a summary of my system - hope this is of use!

Thanks in advance!!!!!!!!!!!!!

update on my problem!!

Been messing about now doing various things, and now the problem has changed! I still can't get audio, but the two errors mentioned before have gone, and now in other devices under device management, it now has Multimedia Audio
Controller with a yellow exclamation mark!!!!!

what's going on?

thanks

It means that the drivers arn't installed properly. Download the latest ones from the website of your PC manufacturer or your motherboard/soundcard and install those over it..

I've tried all that. It's an Advent 3214 - the advent web site is useless, and there's barely anything online regarding my model pc. I've been on the MSI drivers website, but i can't find the drivers for my model.

I've downloaded the drivers for SIS 7018 audio controller and run them to no effect. i have also downloaded and run the IDE setup files that are apparently for my chipset to no avail.

i have an Advent system recovery disk, but i can't run it because everytime i do it says it can't continue because ntkrnlmp.exe is missing. however, i have made sure that this file is present in on the c drive - is it missing on the disk? (the disk is a little scratched).

Download SIW (system info for windows).

Its kinda like everest (so you need to navigate to the info about your audio "card"), and it should link you to a site that has the drivers for your audio card
