I am also querying for help.
I have Windows XP Home Edition, and due to various problems, was reinstalling my OS and reconfiguring my entire computer from scratch. So I know I have sound capabilities. I tried installing 1 Sis driver using Device Manager, and that didn't work.
I tried a solution from an old thread, and tried to download an executable file for RealTek AC 97 ... which had been on this computer before I re-installed Windows XP Home. ... but that did not work, either. I then tried downloading a RealTek HD audio package. This did download and I installed it... but Device Manager did not recognize it.
By this time, Device Manager had an "!" over my Multimedia Audio Controller icon.
I uninstalled and reinstalled Multimedia Audio Controller, and still got an "!"
I used System Restore to go back to yesterday, redownoladed and reinstalled all the latest Windows Updates.

PLEASE HELP... I AM AT A LOSS HERE @!!
Please reply here or write me at
curtball2@hotmail.com
I'd be very, very grateful. It seems ridiculous that so many XP users have the exact same probs. NO Universal solution exists ?
Thanks for your help.
