[quote=owellen][font="Arial"]All of a sudden i noticed that i could not listen to any output from any audio devices such as; Headphones, Earphones and Speakers. I checked my volume controls and properties, default sound cards and then I checked the device manager.
When i checked the device manager i noticed that the option for "Multimedia Audio Controller" was flagged. I tried to automatically update this and failed. It said it could not find the required files and i do not have my CD to install them.
If anyone can provide me with a download link for a driver or possibly some sort of tutorial to help me fix this, then i would be very grateful.
I have enclosed a copy of the Belarc Adviser scan and it shows that no multimedia was found:
