Reinstalled Windows, now I seem to be having the same problem as others - question mark next to multimedia audio controller. I've been working for two days on this problem and can't seem to find the right driver (I don't even know what sound card I have; I had my computer built several years ago).

Here are the system specs that I found using CPU-Z/CPUID:

OS: Windows XP Home SP2

CPU: AMD Athlon 64 3200+
Mainboard: (abit)
-Model: NF-95 (NVIDIA GeForce6100)
-Chipset: GeForce 6100
-Southbridge: nForce 410/430 MCP
-LCPIO Winbond W83627ehf

BIOS: Phoenix
-Version 6.00 PG
-Date 4/03/2006

All PCI

I don't know if this is enough info - please let me know if there's anything else you need. Thank you in advance for your help!
