Dear BookWorm,
I too am having trouble finding the right driver for my Multimedia Audio Controller. I'm not sure why the sound went out, a virus maybe? Anyways, there's no sound, and when I go in the device manager it has an exclamation point next to the MAC (Multi. Audio Cont.). I used the Belarc Advisor, but it didn't list my sound card under the multimedia devices. It only listed the Pinnacle Video capture card, which was install long ago and never caused problems. My computer is custom built with a sound card built into the motherboard. Below are the specs I got from Belarc:

It's not giveing he motherboard, get Everest http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/...-Edition.shtml

copy and paste the My Computer Summary section.

But check this out
Check Control Panel/ Sound & Audio Devices/ Properties/ Audio tab/ Sound Playback click on down arrow and check that the correct audio is selected. Typically the problem will be they something like "modem line 0 playback" might have been substituted for the proper audio device.

Hope this helps

[loluchka80]

i think i'm having a similiar problem. my sound doesn't work. when i go to sound and audio devices, everything is unclickable, and it says No Audio Devices at the top. When i got to Device Manager, under Other Devices it shows Multimedia Audio Controller with a yellow question mark and exclamation point. When i look at the properties it says the driver for this device is not installed. When i click to reinstall it says to insert disk. can i download this driver somewhere? i went to belarc. this is what it says.
