Multimedia Audio Controller Problems

[c.minerdaughter]

Tried that one before, and it failed to install. Tried it again at your request and it failed again. I don't know what to do.

Check this out
Go to Control Panel / Sound & Audio Devices / Properties / Sound Playback – click on down arrow and check that the correct audio is selected. Typically the problem will be something “modem line 0 playback” has been substituted for the correct audio device.

Hope this helps

Any help would be much appreciated

first check this,
Go to Control Panel / Sound & Audio Devices / Properties / Sound Playback – click on down arrow and check that the correct audio is selected. Typically the problem will be something “modem line 0 playback” has been substituted for the correct audio device.

hope this helps

This is the option that was selected, however it is now the only option that is available - for some reason I can't select my old sound card

[c.minerdaughter]

Well, I went to Control Panel / Sound & Audio Devices / Properties / Sound Playback, and under the volume tab it says that I have no audio device period. The arrow that you wanted me to click on under the sound playback tab is greyed out as well. Any ideas?

This is the link to your Gigabyte motherboard drivres, audio is C-Media http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Support/M...ProductID=1775

SET A SYSTEM RESTORE POINT BEFORE INSTALLING JUST IN CASE

Hope this helps

check this out
Start / Control Panel / Administrative Tools / Component Services / a separate window will open – in left pane click Services(Local) / Scroll down to Windows Audio service / if the service is Disabled or Manual right click > select Properties > under Startup Type change to Automatic > click Apply > click Start > Reboot.

hope this helps

First look at this
Go to Control Panel / Sound & Audio Devices / Properties / Sound Playback – click on down arrow and check that the correct audio is selected. Typically the problem will be something “modem line 0 playback” has been substituted for the correct audio device.

have you tried a System restore to before sound failed, this board has onboard sound,

Do you have more than one set of radio plugs, 1 set at top of tower on I/O plate and 1 lower down tower in an exspansion slot.

if onboard sound the driver is here http://www.pcchips.com.tw/PCCWeb/Dow...uID=35&LanID=0

it's realtek audio

C-Media can be onboard sound, what make and model do you have, have you more than 1 set of audio plugs, 1 at top of tower and 1 lower down.

if your not sure of your model get belarc, copy and paste the report, not software or win update section http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html
