Drivers for "Multimedia Audio Controller" and "Universal Serial Bus (USB) Controller"

adai2020 · 06-20-2009, 09:36 PM

Hi,

I just reinstalled a clean Windows XP copy in my desktop computer which is of Dell Dimension 4550 model. I had reformatted the entire disk, deleted everything and reinstalled a clean copy of Windows XP into my desktop.

Most of the drivers were missing after the reinstall. With the help of a past thread in this forum i managed to get suitable drivers for my network adapters and now i can successfully login to the internet.

In my device manager window, i still have two devices which have a big yellow question mark next to them. They are "Multimedia Audio Controller" and "Universal Serial Bus (USB) Controller" devices. I do not know where i can get the suitable drivers for these devices.

I have all CD's that came bundled with this computer. Among them are Dell Dimension Resource CD for Reinstalling Device Drivers and Using Diagnostics, Utilities and Online Documentation.

I need help in finding the right drivers for my two devices. Currently i cannot hear any audio from the speakers of my computer.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

Hello,

The Chipset and Audio Drivers should be on the Resource CD.

You can download the Drivers from the dell website.

I downloaded both Analog Devices and Chipset Driver from the Dell website and tried installing them. The chipset Driver Installation was successful. But when i installed the analog devices driver, after a while during setup process it says

Driver not Found! Reboot your system, and run this setup again.

I have already tried rebooting and doing setup again, but still get the same error message. What do i do now ?

Thanks

Hello,

Go here for the chipset driver: (#6)
http://downloadcenter.intel.com/filt...5&submit=Go%21

Go here for audio driver:
http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/...&GetDown=false

Go here for Drive Sweeper:
http://downloads.guru3d.com/Guru3D--...er)_d1672.html

1. add/remove in control panel, uninstall the chipset driver, audio driver
2. check in C: drive for any folders here and in program files, delete them here.
3. run drive sweeper and remove all traces of either file
4. reboot pc
5. upon bootup, if a new found hardware wizard appears, cancel it out
6. disable antivirus, install chipset driver
7. reboot pc
8. disable antivirus, install audio driver
9. reboot pc and enable antivirus
