It said it couldn't find any newer driver, the date on the current one is 070125.
However, I found a driver pack for the Audigy 2 card, and am downloading it as we speak.
Will return with info on the progress.

I didn't see any option for editing a post, so I'll post again.
I installed the Audigy 2 drivers, disabled the Realtek on-board sound via the BIOS and now I finally have audio!
Thanks a lot for your help!

Hi there I have a compaq presario SR1719UK, just done a clean reinstall of windows to try and sort out sound problems (lack of) made no difference. Device manager tells me I have no multimedia audio controller or SM Bus Controller . I would be massively happy if someone could help me otherwise i am in big trouble! I only have my xp disc so i have no other way of reinstalling my missing drivers. Helllllp! (please) God, I probably havent even managed to post right.

Go here to HP http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/s... 9149&lang=en

Under Original drivers -
1st install the Ati Chipset drivers - then restart your comp - this will install SM Bus Controller

2nd install realtek AC'97 audio

Set a System Restore Point before installing Each driver just in case
Start / All Programs / Accessories / System Tools / System Restore / select Create a restore point and follow instructions

Hello,

I was wondering if you can help with my problem please. Its been driving me around the bend

My pc currently has no sound, what appears to be the problem is my multimedia audio controller has the yellow ?/! next to it. This occurred after reformatting the pc. If comp specs are what you need then hopefully this helps...

Hi all!

Sorry to hijack this thread but it seems very relavant to my problem.

I had a virus on my machine and have installed XP professional SP3 and now I cant get any sound.

On device manager I've got yellow question marks next to Other Devices which are Multimedia Audio Controller and SM Bus Controller.

The machine is a Compaq Presario SR1000, I've tried searching both this site and the compaq/HP websites for the drives I need but have come to a dead end.

I've ran a Belarc Advisor and here are the results

Go to Control Panel / Sound & Audio Devices / Properties / Sound Playback – click on down arrow and check that the correct audio is selected. Typically the problem will be something “modem line 0 playback” has been substituted for the correct audio device.See if realtek is in the drop down llist
