I noticed that the music (and only the music... the sound works fine) was just gone in some of my games, and I went to the device manager, and under "Other Devices" I have a question mark/exclamation point and SM Bus Controller. When I try to restart my computer, it always looks for the hardware, but can't find it..

I don't know what info on my computer you need to help me... I have an Alienware with an Intel Core 2 Quad CPU, Q6600. I tried calling Alienware for tech support, but my warranty had run out, and, well... here I am! Is the SM Bus thing related to my sound issues?
