Same story, I'm afraid - inherited a computer from a friend and found a yellow question mark over the multimedia audio controller and no sound.

Belarc details (cut and pasted, as I understand none of it) as follows:

Operating System System Model
Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2 (build 2600)
Install Language: English (United States)
System Locale: English (United Kingdom)
Enclosure Type: Desktop
Processor a Main Circuit Board b
2.40 gigahertz AMD Athlon 64
128 kilobyte primary memory cache
512 kilobyte secondary memory cache
64-bit ready
Not hyper-threaded
Board: http://www.abit.com.tw/ NF8/NF8-V (NF3 Series) 1.x
Bus Clock: 200 megahertz
BIOS: Phoenix Technologies, LTD 6.00 PG 06/14/2005

Hope some of that helps you get to the bottom of this conundrum,

Any help greatly appreciated,

DWx

check this first

Start / Control Panel / Administrative Tools / Component Services / a separate window will open – in left pane click Services(Local) from the tree / 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 > OK Reboot

check this to see if Soundmax is default audio

Check Control Panel/ Sound & Audio Devices/ 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
