Last night I did a clean reinstalled of XP Home Edition on my Gateway MX6030 Notebook (with Service Pack 2). I had several driver issues and received great assistance in another thread to fix them.
However, I am having a problem with sound. There is no sound icon in the task tray and when I got to Control Panel "Sounds and Audio Device Properties" is says "No Audio Device."
I've gone to the Gateway driver page located here - http://support.gateway.com/support/drivers/mydl.asp?tab=MY&os=Windows XP - and tried to install all of the following:

I've installed all of the above, and even reintalled (and over-wrote the previous installation) the one related to "sound" above.
When I go to System Properties, Hardware, Device Manager. . . under "other devices" there is a yellow question mark next to it and the two entries under it (1) Multimedia Audio Controller, and (2) PCI Modem both have yellow question marks next to them.
I've double clicked on the Multimedia Audio Controller and tried to reinstall the driver and put the recovery disc that came with the computer (the only one) but it can't find the driver. None of the above listed drivers on Gateway after installation fixed the problem so I don't know where to get this driver or what to do.
How can I get the sound and sound icom back on my laptop?
Thanks!
