    Expert: ex = has been, spurt = drip under pressure.
    Can we have some system specs please?
    I think what is happening is that the driver install process is looking for files that are not on the path so needs a little help. Note the name of the file being asked for and then run start > search > type in the name of the file. When the system finds it, note the name of the folder and then use that in the driver install process.

    Btw, i put the file name in the run progreamme option and there were no resultss, it told me that there was no such files.

    Then perhaps the files are in a cabinet or zip folder and must be extracted by the install routine.
    Check the install CD and check if there is a setup.exe file - if so, run it and see what happens.

    i do not have the installation CD, this pc was a replacement, it came with no CD's and when i recieved it.
    with the one it replaced there was no VIA/S3G disc. its a conundrum. :S

    You don't need a driver CD. Open the case and take a look at the motherboard. See if you can locate the make and model number of the motherboard. Make might be something like ASUS, ABIT, ECS, or Biostar. A model number might look like A7V8X or something... Once you give us this info, we can locate the proper driver

    SO this earlier advice helped me. No downloads, No worrying about my Motherboard. First You Go To The Device Manager List And Right Click On Multimedia Audio Controller. Click On Update Driver And Then Click The Manually Choose A Program Go To The Audio Codecs .. I think I clicked or right clicked on it and it gave me choices. I chose Intel then Intel(r)AC97. Hope this helps someone else.

    cooper05,
    go to the Asus support website and download and install the audio driver again. You can try and delete the Yellow exclamation marked device, reboot and see if the device is reinstalled successfully

  17. Tmagic650 TS Ambassador Posts: 18,984   +73

    We're you updating anything when you lost the sound? What do you mean by "trying to click on install but it wont let me"... What kind of errors are you seeing, or does the computer freeze?
  18. techtrance Newcomer, in training

    it was some glitch or something, no my computer doesnt freez, and i dont think i

    was updating anything,

    i lost sound when i was installing the m-audio soudcard, i just restarted the

    computer and it asked for the multimedia audio controller drives again, , my

    volume doesnt work for nothing,.

    i have installed what you have told me above, which was the link.

    and restarted my computer, but it still asks for the installation of the multimedia audio controller. now what :p
  19. Tmagic650 TS Ambassador Posts: 18,984   +73

    Oh so you bought a M-Audio sound card that fits into a slot on the inside of your HP? You will have to turn off the on-board sound in the motherboard bios, in order to stop the installation of the multimedia audio controller message

    where is that located ? the on-board sound in the motherboard bios?

    and yes i did buy the m-audio sound card
