Multimedia audio controller driver missing

**chris@panteg** · 26-06-2010, 16:18

Hi

I did a re install of XP today and now no sound , Multimedia controller driver is missing .

This seems to be a big problem looking on the net , what i don't understand is i must have had the driver before and now its just not there .

Tried all my motherboard and audigy discs and nothing

I have onboard sound and a creative audigy installed , very strange

has anybody on here come across this before ? .

Regards,

Chris, you should try and install the drivers the PC was initially working with.

Can you please look at the hardware list, it should give you a clue about what is missing, exactly.

Does it make any difference if you install the latest service pack to windows?

Multimedia controler is mostly driver for sound card (onbord or ext) which is not a part of Win,with or without any SP.

Its an Asus M3A socket AM2+ and SB Audigy ' i have the discs for both! Windows is saying no hardware installed so i cannot install the drivers for either the onboard sound or the SB.

I looked up the problem on the net and loads of peeps have the same problem ,Microsoft seems to be clueless as to solving it .

Oh and my version of XP has SP2 built in and i think SP3

On the hardware list, you mean, the multimedia controller is on error ?
Or that it is missing on the hardware list ?
