Hi Everyone!
Like everyone else in this thread I too am experiencing some problems with sound after installing Vista Home (Basic) onto my PC.

I had a similar problem when I installed XP onto this unit as the soundcard is built-into the motherboard. I have got those dreaded yellow exclamation marks next to my Multimedia Audio Controller on the 'other devices' section of Device Manager. I presume that it is a driver problem and any help you can give me to solve this problem would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers; Joe.
