Hi,

I came to this site a long time ago to fix this multimedia audio controller problem (It's been a few months at least). But now it seems that the problem is reocurring after I had to shutdown the computer when it froze up from a combination of virus scan and another program that totally bogged it down. When I turned the computer back on a message came up saying something like my "input was out of range." The message wouldn't go away and I couldn't get to my desktop so I turned the computer off again. When I turned it back on, I found that I could get to the desktop this time but there was no sound. I checked my device manager and found that the multimedia audio controller was out of whack again. The problem is, is that I have already installed the Realtek Media Player (RtlRack) and for some reason the computer wasn't recognizing it. I tried installing it again, then uninstalling again and then installing it again but it doesn't seem to work. I would really like to know why this is happening and why it didn't happen before, but more importantly I would simply like to know how to get sound back on to my computer. I have a Windows XP, and I know anybody trying to figure this out is going to need more information so if you can just tell me what, I will be happy to provide it. Keep in mind though that I've already installed Realtek and it doesn't work now but did before, so I'm kind of baffled.

Thanks for any information you can provide!
