Multimedia Audio Controller Driver Issue - Please Help

[N3051M]

i can't get any info from those motherboard details. Maybe help yourself by downloading this and looking under the hardware specs, there should be a link with a download for drivers..

EVEREST Home

Idk

I have that already, thats how I got the MB info. Am I looking in the wrong place or is my MB just FuBar? When I go to the Motherboard info its says Unknown. I have an Emachine maybe that will help? If there is somewhere I should/could look for the MB info on Everest plz let me know. ; ;

Go to this website: http://www.emachines.com/support/product_support.html?cat=Desktops

enter in your model no, series/etc for your PC. It should bring you to the relevant download page. If you don't know the model no or info, there should be a sticker or similar somewhere on the case (or if you kept the book(s))

Emachine pcs are by far the most ridiculous prebuilt machines ever to be in production (no offense k?). They use mostly cheap proprietary stuff..

Hello ,

I am experiencing problems with SoundMax. I have a Dell 4600i, and I've read this thread as I came upon it by googling. I attempted a few of the methods listed here as well, but I end up with the same message over and over from SoundMax "Driver not found! Reboot your system, and run this setup again."

Here's a picture of the drivers I have under my Dell drivers folder.

Thank you.

i assume you're following the instructions from the Dell website to the letter?

Installation Instructions

Hard Drive Installation (via WinZip) with Setup.exe File for R58182.EXE

Download

1.Click Download Now, to download the file.
2.When the File Download window appears, click Save (Windows XP
users will click Save) this program to disk and click OK. The Save In:
window appears.
3.From the Save In: field, click the down arrow then click to
select Desktop and click Save. The file will download to your desktop.
4.If the Download Complete window appears, click Close. The file
icon appears on your desktop.

Install

1.Double-click the new icon on the desktop labeled R58182.EXE.
2.The Self-Extracting window appears and prompts you to extract or
unzip to C:\DELL\DRIVERS\r58182. Write down this path so the executable (I.e.
Setup.exe) file can be found later.
3.The Self-Extractor window appears.
4.Click OK.
5.After completing the file extraction, if the Self-Extractor
window is still open, close it.
6.Click the Start button and then click Run.
7.Type C:\DELL\DRIVERS\r58182 in the Open textbox and then click OK.
8.Follow the on-screen installation instructions.

If you have, and still giving you problems do the following.
- Enter Add/Remove Programs (under Control Panel) and look for Soundmax and other audio related programs (except music players etc of course) and uninstall them.
- Enter Device Manager and expand the branch "Sound, video and game controllers" and uninstall anything related to your sound card drivers if any.
- Reboot and when the wizard comes up to install the driver, cancel it and run the Dell one instead. If installing it under normal bootup doesn't work, use Safe mode.

Hi everyone,
I also am getting the no driver found message that then tells me to reboot. I have dl'ed the latest soundmax update/drivers from my manufacturers site (ASUS) and there are no sound drivers listed in my program list. When I run the new hardware wizard it finds nothing and my system doesnt appear to see any sound hardware. I have also tried resetting cmos..my audio is enabled in bios..I'm at a loss here

TYIA for any help you can provide
mobo is asus p4pe-x

 

[N3051M]

see post above for instructions on how to clean your drivers first. Otherwise get a proper sound card..

 

[evar]

Already tried that...seems like the consensus is failed audio on my mobo..

I appreciate the response though

Everex NC1500 Laptop

I'm having the same problem as everyone else. I have an Everex NC1500 Laptop, I got it for Christmas of 2006, and the multimedia audio controller is now missing. I have no volume control in my start menu and have no volume at all coming out of my speakers.

I run Windows XP

I went to the everex home page and got no help. They told me to make sure it was not muted. Please help.

hey everyone. im new to tech spot and i need some help reallly bad!
i think i accidently deleted something important from my compter yesterday when i was removing some programs (i know, stupid) and now i cant hear any sound from my computer. no music or anything from websites. so if anyone could please help me, it would be greatly appreciated here is some of my computer info. :

[dashen]

hey, i recently had the same problem with the soundmax integrated digital audio that pretty much all you guys seem to have. judging by the dates on your posts i hope this will help someone at all.

okay, so i'm going to have to assume you've downloaded the drivers, or you have them on a cd. you'll need to open the add hardware wizard. go to the control panel, then click add hardware. the same thing will also pop up if you detect new devices in the device manager, or if you restart and it doesn't recognize your multimedia audio controller.

from there. you should:
-click "yes, i have already connected the hardware", then Next.
-pick "multimedia audio controller" from the list
-specify the location of the .inf file in the driver package you got. for the soundmax drivers, from the extracted folder go to SMAXWDM then W2K_XP then select the .inf file you see.

then you're done! i hope this helps if you googled this thread like i did.

Audio Sound Driver for GA-8SIMLNF

Replying to you question joneslu07 I agree with howard hopkinso. Use the manudactors site.

I recovered my friends PC sound after his hard disk failed. His motherboard is GA-8SIMLNF VER 2.0 . This identity is clearly printed on the motherboard. In DirectX I believe the motherboard was identified as GA-8SIMLNF REV 1.x so this may be relevant to you.

The driver is described as ‘SigmaTel C-Major (STAC97N) for SiS audio driver’. The drive install file is called STAC97N_613109010.exe and is suitable for XP operating system. I suggest you go to 'support packardbell com/uk'
and click through the site's ‘model selector’ until you get to the down load support sections for PC models IXTREME 6052 or IMEDIA 3042. You will find the audio driver installation file there. Both of these models use the GA-8SIMLNF motherboard and are manufactured by Packard Bell.

Please help!!! Multimedia Audio Controller Issue

hello All,

Using "aida32" i found out that i have "Intel 82801EB ICH5 - AC'97 Audio Controller PCI" onboard sound card, but i am not getting any drivers for the same. Please help me.
Tried searching on driverguide.com and also on intel's site.. can anyone help me with this

Thanks a ton
Shruti

 

[Cinders]

The Intel 82801EB ICH5 is your IDE or SATA controller. The AC'97 Audio Controller PCI is a generic name for your audio chip. What motherboard do you have? From there we can look up the specs and get the driver for you.
