Hi guys,
I've been through the various forums but I can't seem to find anyone who has my PC with the same error, although there seem to be plenty of multimedia errors in general.
I have a Dell Dimensions 4600 PC. I formatted, removing XP and installing Windows 2000. In the process, I'm guessing I lost my audio drivers as now I have no sound. My device manager has a yellow question mark and an exclaimation mark under Other Devices, next to Multimedia audio controller and PCI Device.
A dxdiag brings up the below (and more but I left out the rest)

Sound Capture Devices
As you can see, it doesn't pick up any sound card. The various jacks are immediately below my keyboard/mouse outlets so I'm guessing I have an internal card. Which one, I don't know...I've tried downloading soundblaster, AGI 180 etc. drivers but they don't work either.
I'm not sure what motherboard I have. If anyone can help me figure it out, I can go to the relevant manufacturers website and download the chipset? I'm all out of ideas.
Oh and urm...I kinda went into Sound, Video and game controllers in my Device Manager and deleted all my audio codecs, except it wouldn't delete Microsoft PCM converter. I figured if I deleted everything Audio related, it would fix itsel...ahem.
Please help. I really REALLY do not want to upgrade to XP. I've only just loaded on all my other applications.
Thanks in advance.
