Multimedia audio controller issues

[lil_devil]

I am somewat new to this and am not sure what is needed to help me fix the problem. I had to re-install windows xp pro on my computer due to viruses now my multimedia audio controller has the yellow exclamation mark next to it. I am assuming that my driver needs to be updated or reinstalled or whatever but I am not sure where to go to find the right one. I don't have the disk for the computer and searching the net is useless until I know what one is for my computer so like i said can someone please tell me what info I need to provide for assistance. Thanks

This will help you

Please put your System Specs information in your Profile

Then do another reply, so I know you've done it
By the way, if you have a name brand like Dell (some model number) or Hp (some model number) or any other (plus the model number!)
Put that info in the Motherboard field

I have put in everything that i know. If anymore is needed let me know and i will see if i can find it

Hardest driver to find in the world!

Try here: http://www.canyon-tech.com/support/drivers?NODE_ID=71119085709096692

But you actually may need to contact them, if you do (contact them) please post the link to the audio driver back here

of course! leave it to me to have the hardest lol ok thanks and i will with whatever i can get

 

[kimsland]

You know since your reply, I was looking
You probably thought, bas### gone now!
But I wasn't !

 

[lil_devil]

Actually i wasnt thinking that, i was thinking about going to bed cuz well 14hrs of trying to fix this stupid ***** thing is enough for one day but now i have the issue of contacting them and i dont know my product code or serial number and it asking for it. It has to be entered to contact them as i cant find the driver in the support section. Would you know where i could find it?

 

[kimsland]

Go to bed :zzz:

I'll have a look later (again!)

I did see one thread that a generic driver may help
I'll try to find it again

But not right now, have to go too

I translated a Ruskie site; http://translate.google.ca/translat...v=/search?q=Canyon+7V2M-L&start=10&hl=en&sa=N and they say you have the Via KM266 Northbridge which is normally/usually/always? accompanied by an 8233 Southbridge using AC'97 audio - Via says; http://www.viaarena.com/default.aspx?PageID=420&OSID=1&CatID=1010&SubCatID=104

 

[kimsland]

Yes that looks good

Here's the Driver from CCT's link: http://downloads.viaarena.com/drivers/audio/68MU220b.zip (another 4Meg download!)

Please try it
