I just did a clean install on a computer. and the audio sound didn't work. In the device manager, there is a yellow circle with the exclamation point next to c-media ac 97 audio device driver. I tried to install realtek device driver, but didn't work. Anyone know anything else i can do. Im frustrated.
 
1) Are you running with XP Sp3 installed?
2) Have you checked for the drivers on HP's website for your model?
3) You can try rt clicking on the device in Device Manager, select Update. See if Windows can find a driver

If you still have problems,
  • Make sure all your devices are connected and powered on
  • Click Start->Run, enter: msinfo32. Click the + sign next to Components to expand it
  • Click Problem Devices. Anything appear?
  • If yes, click on it, Ctrl-A to select all, Ctrl-C to copy it, Ctrl-V to paste into next post
 
Here is what it says:

C-Media AC97 Audio Device PCI\VEN_1039&DEV_7012&SUBSYS_806A1043&REV_A0\3&61AAA01&0&17 This device cannot start.
 
Actually, i just noticed your device specs indicates an ASUS P4S333-M motherboard. And your driver problem in your Problem Report says "Driver can't start"

> First, look through Add/Remove programs to see if your sound card has an audio program listed and uninstall it from there
> Then double check Device Manager, if listed under Sound, rt click Uninstall
> Try downloading the sound drivers for the ASUS motherboard here
> Try reinstalling. Does it work or Problem Report still say "can't start"?

If so, do you have XP SP3 installed yet? Also try opening Device Manager, look under Sound, find your sound card (it will probably have a yellow icon because of the error status), rt click it, select Update. Try letting Windows search for a driver
 
If you are using a HDMI cable, then you should get sound through that. Are you getting a message about "Audio Not Supported"? If so, go into settings within the PS3 and switch off 'Bit-stream Audio' as its not supported via HDMI. Its only supported via Coaxial Audio.
