Hello all,
I have recently salvaged an old machine that my mother in law was binning so that I could set it up for my daughter to play a few games on. It was was riddled with viruses so I have reformatted it and installed XP but I now don't have sound. My Multimedia Audio Controller seems to be absent.
I've done a Belarc and an Everest report but how do I set about interpreting these in order ascertain what driver I need to download?
