Multimedia Audio Controller Problems

[alicat]

Reading over this forum I have noticed a few topics on the same subject but must with people using onboard sound in which mobo drivers have been the eventual fix. I have the same problem in which I have formatted and then after installing my soundcard drivers I still have no sound as I have no drivers for 'Multimedia Audio Controller'. Despite trying to assign numerous drivers to it I have no luck. Basically I have no sound and no idea whether this is a mobo, soundcard or windows prob. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm using a Creative Soundblaster 5.1 soundcard, an Asus P4p800-E mobo, P4 3gig and 1024 ram.

Thanks in advance.

This may seem like an obvious question but did you click on the speaker icon on the task bar and make sure there wasn't a checkmark in the mute box. Or is the speaker icon missing as well?

Does it show your sound card in device manager?
