Hey there,

I'm having the same sound problem here. Reformatted and I guess some drivers are gone. Any help would be great!

I tried to uninstall it in safe mode, and then restart it normally, it didn't work. When I got back on, I tried to reinstall it, but the computer couldn't find the software for the controller. u.u; So...help?

sm bus controller is the chipset, use this utility from SiS it will list the drivers you need from SiS and a link to install, accept the ActiveX it's safe

Set a System Restore Point before installing drivers just in case
Start / All Programs / Accessories / System Tools / System Restore / select Create a restore point and follow instructions

Tyler

These are your drivers from HP, listed under Original Drivers, you need
ATI Chipset
Graphics
Realtek audio

http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/s... 8329&lang=en

for these drivers to work, your monitor and audio must plug into the I/O plate as shown here http://www.overclockeddoc.com/bookwo...0io%20slot.JPG
click image to focus

Set a System Restore Point before installing each driver just in case
Start / All Programs / Accessories / System Tools / System Restore / select Create a restore point and follow instructions

Under the laptop is a label with the make. model and serial number ( S/N )

also Get Belarc, copy and paste the report, omit the Software section, it gives Product Codes for your OS and the Windows Critical Updates.
