You are using integrated sound, You will need to install motherboard drivers which also install the integrated sound drivers,
gl,

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 And Just Choose One Of The Audios That Make Sense The Most It Practically Is Common Sense From Then On See If That Works Because Thats How I Got Mines Working=]] Good Luck Everyone =]]

Anyway as you may know i got a exclamation mark ( ! ) on my multimedia controller thing, i got no CD's , but im using sound card ( off board ) divice manager said no drivers can be found, and on dos i have disabled on-board sound. I have just formated my drive. Am i missing some thing PLZ can you give me a link to the right drivers or some thing simple . oh and im using win 2k .

i dont much like forums becuse of their slow replys so plz just replay using my e-mail adress bwhitten62@hotmail.com

16 year-olds don't have much patients... You will have to find drivers for your PCI sound card. Before you can do that, you have to know what make and model sound card your sound card is

well hello every one i´m new here(from finland so my grammar isn´t great) i have same kind of problems with my soundcard drivers what have been on this thread. i bought my schools old comp about 3-5 years old not exatly sure and i can´t find its sound card anywhere, with aida32 and everest sys info programs i found out little info about it:

Win XP
motherboard: Asus P4M533-VM
soundcard (or something like that): Intel 82801DB(M) ICH4(-M) - AC'97 Audio Controller [A-1]

can any one give a little help for newbie of comps
( i´ll add full report if needed tomorrow when i´m at school with internet connection, currently i don´t have internet in my home until end of next month so i can´t use windows update for now)

(when i looked with google about my soundcard i found following driver
Intelr82801DB-DBM-DAAC97AudioController
could this be right one because the name doesn´t match)

The motherboard you listed does not show up anywere in Asus listings of motherboards. Check once again, you might have p4s533-vm model and for this you will find the driver here:
http://support.asus.com/download/dow...Language=en-us

to find the model number Asus says:

Rebooting your system

Hit the "Pause/Break" key when you see ASUS xxxx ACPI BIOS Revision"

For example：A7N8X-VM represents the motherboard model

Thanks for info i´ll try that. Here is full sys info just in case what i got with aida32 and everest something programs, they gave me exatly same info:

Here is the Asus drivers download site for your motherboard P4B533-VM
http://support.asus.com/download/dow...Language=en-us

Thanks everyone who helped me now my sounds work again.

Anytime.

i need help with my sound, wher my multimedia audio controller should be, all i have is a yellow mark, what do i do and what drivers do i download.
any feedback would be great

I would love to give you feedback if I only knew what your computer was. Who made it and what is the model?

Im having the same Problem, I am missing my Audio Controller, and i have downloaded cpu-z, and i must say it helped, but i still cannot find my mother board drivers.
what it says :
Model : i845ITE8712

Chip Set : Intel i845

South bridge : 82801BA (ICH 2)

Sensor: ITE IT8712

And im Running windows Xp Home

Some one please help.

okay so i guess i must have deleted my drivers by accident...
as yes...i am without sound.

i have tried most of the things that have been suggested on these boards and i don't know where to go next. my motherboard is a Gigabyte GA 8SIML.

its all to do with my multimedia audio controller

i checked out the maker of my motherboard and downloaded the drivers they suggested (which were both realtek and SiS)...nothing.

i tried to do a system restore to before when i deleted the driver...but it would seem the the option has been turned off for some time and there are no past restore points for me to use.

the device manager has the little yellow exclamation...a hardware conflict?
when i used the troubleshooter to try and resolve the conflict it made the problem worse...now i have a conflict with an SM bus controller.

i don't know what a BIOS is or if it would help matters to try and download a new one?

im only an a-level student and i think this is a bit out of my depth.

here is everything AIDA gave me...
