Hi there,
i got the same similar problem.
I also have the code 28 problem and the Multimedia audio controller with yellow question mark.
And here are things i've already tried.
i've downloaded realtek, and uninstalled the Multimedia audio controller. first, then installed realtek, then restarted my computer. When my computer was started it had found the new Hardware and when he was getting at the point of installing it, it suddenly restarted my whole pc at its own. Then came back and found the hardware, and restarted again, and again and again. So i couldnt do nothing much. So i refreshed my Windows XP my reinstalling all over again.
So i can't download Realtek, computer won't except it(dunno why). So tried to go to winfast.com. 'Cause when I start my computer first thing i get to see is a winfast logo, so tried their drivers. So i installed the 4xsound driver they had. So i've downloaded it, installed it. Then when it started, it says:
Waiting for hardware to prepare.
Then at the same time i get to wizzard of microsoft of installing a new hardware.
so i go threw the wizzard and at the end he says couldnt find the driver can't install. While the other program is still running and waiting for the wizzard.
So i've tried a lots of things, but just can't get my speakers to work, what supposed to be a easy thing!!
Here are my computer information:
