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.

im not vewry good at this sort of stuff so i just copied all the information that was in system proerties under general. i hopes that what u wanted.

system:
microsoft windows XP
home edition
version 2002
service pack 2

registerd to:
spencer concannon

776477-oem-0075286-99146

oem computer manufactuer
oem pc
intel (R)
pentium(R) D CPU 3.4OGHz
3.39 GHz, 480 MB of RAM
Physical address extention
hope that helps.

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

ok thanks, i am a little busy ATM but i will try to do open her up soon.

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.

Since reformatting a while back iv had the exclamation point next to my Multimedia Audio Controller, iv had sound but i have not had a mic. So since iv tried to find them myself and failed im bringing it to yall. If i left out something that you need to help me out ill get back to you as soon as i can.

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

I don't know what multimedia audio controller I had but I deleted it in "add or remove programs" Is there a way I can find it online and download something so that I can have sound again? Thanks

would this help me cure the non volume, and set up my m-audio audiophile 2496 perfectly?

trying to click on install but it wont let me , let me try by restart computer.
do u have msn?

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?

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

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
