Multimedia Audio Controller problem

sonny1186 · #1 11-18-2007, 03:25 PM

I need someone to help me figure out which driver I need to install to my computer. I tried installing a Realtek driver earlier (I can't remember which one specifically) but it only let me hear some sounds and not others.
I'm also missing a driver for Video Controller (VGA Compatible)

Both Multimedia Audio Controller and Video Controller (VGA Compatible) appear with a yellow question mark in the device manager.

Any help? I'd appreciate it.
