Hi,
I have a problem with sound on my computer and was wondering if you could give me some advice. i recently re installed Windows XP and since then i have had no sound whatsoever on my computer. Something called 'multimedia audio controller' in device manager has a yellow question mark next to it. I have tried right clicking and updating drivers but windows hardware update manager says i do not have the software needed. I do not have a cd for my sound card so i thought that i must need a driver. The problem is that i don't know which sound card i have so cant install the right driver for it. I typed DXDIAG in Run and got a window with DirectX Diagnostic tool. This told me my sound card was Modem#0 Line Playback (emulated). I searched for drivers for this but couldnt find any. Then i downloaded a program called Everest Home Edition which
gives you all the specifics about your system. This told me that i have Intel 82801DB ICH4 - AC'97 Audio Controller (B-0). Looked for drivers for this and couldnt find any. Dont know how to open up my computer to get sound card name without damaging something. I have attached some print screens to help you diagnose my problem. Have also tried deleting the Mutilmedia audio controller icon in device manager, restarting and letting windows detect it but again nothing. I tried looking on the internet how to fix this problem but got confused and bogged down in BIOS and Chipsets and which drivers.
Everest says under motherboard name: Epox EP-4PEA9(I). any information you need please ask because i really need help and am really desperate. P.s. I think i used to have AC'97 Audio before i reinstalled and it might have been with Realtek as i had a program called AvRack. There is also a program that gives you specifics of your system called Belarc advisor and here is the link to my computer details C:\Program Files\Belarc\Advisor\System\tmp\(Masood-pc).html
I would be extremely grateful if you could help me. Thankyou for your time.
