can u pls help me

Set a System Restore Point before installing driver just in case

According to Toshiba Japan the sound on this model is AC'97 go here to Realtek to get the driver http://w3serv.realtek.com.tw/downloa...&Software=True



choose one of the 3 download sites, they can be slow

Hope this helps

Had a look at ski's comments, but couldn't get a clear understanding of how to solve the problem. So its still where I was before and appreciate anybody's advice.

I'll keep looking to see if anyone has found a solution so far.

Hope this helps

Still couldnt find an answer from / through ASUS. What I dont understand is that it worked fine for a long long time without any problems, its not a new thing that i recently installed.

just want to let ya know (esp. Bookworm :-) ) that when i replaced my harddrive, and thus lost my sound, and my original/oem HP disk/drivers didnt work, i took the alpha/numerics off my sound card, did a google-search ( Ensoniq search didnt help because its CT now, and my card is outdated ) and found this in another forum :
"stevec50February 17th, 2003, 08:51 AM / He could also switch to a sound card with built-in amplifiers if they are powerful enough to drive the speakers. Creative makes an ES1371 Ensoniq card (Audio PCI 5100) with built-in amp that puts out 20 watts per channel."
Well, after running BELARC and finding out that indeed i have a Creative/Ensoniq/Soundblaster, and retrieving the cross-reference above, i was able to download an AWESOME driver from driverguide, that actually had its own install-wizard! So, after 3 months of "hit and miss" with no sound, i am BACK IN BIZ today!!
sure wish i would've found you guys sooner~
and BOOKWORM, you are a Godsend; a WEALTH of valuable information that many people PAY to obtain~!!!

Hey, I am new and I know very little about the technical part of computers. I am having problems with multimedia audio controller as well, I had to reinstall windows and after I done that it wouldnt work. In the device manager it has a yellow question mark beside it, I tried to update the drivers but it couldnt find any. I have a disc that has drivers on it but Im not sure which one is right and when I use the disc it says in the window that opens up with the drivers that, "there is no device detected". I have done a Belarc scan, so if you could tell me what info from the scan you need then I will post it up. Thanks for any help you can give me.

[amery2u]

chaos~
i am NOT a techie... and not at all as knowledgeable as bookworm~ but... even though i just REG'd to the post, i have been reading for quite some time. . . and i can tell you what they need to fig out your stuff; everything before hotfixes and software licenses~
good luck.
hay... i found out ALL i needed from READING.. so .. you are almost there!

Look at the other Belarc printouts, it's the begining that I need, information on the model, hidden Motherboard names and the chipset, if you know the make, model and number of your comp this can helps as well.

Hope this helps

FAO: bookworm...

Well i've got to take my hat off to you bookworm!
I've skipped over this thread loads of times but tonight i thought i would check out why it was still rumbling on after all this time...
How surprised was i to see all this fabulous work going on without me knowing anything about it

I'm proud to regard you as one of my friends bookworm!

Keep up the brilliant work

Having the same problem as some people on this thread, no sound, and in Device Manager there is a question mark/exclamation point on two items, 'Multimedia Audio Controller' and 'PCI Input Device'. There is also a exclamation point next to a '1394 Net Adapter #2' under Network Adapters. Niether one can find the correct drivers anywhere on my comp, including the Gateway CD that came with it.

I called Gateway tech support, where they had me uninstall all three of these items from the device manager. On reboot, they appeared again as 'new hardware' and the woman told me that meant my soundcard was broken and I would have to purchase another one. Of course that means $$ so obviously im getting a 2nd opinion here
