XP Pro SP2 Multimedia Audio Controller problem

Arctucas · #1 12-23-2006, 08:26 PM

I have been reading the other post about this and someone suggested that I did not post there, so I am starting this thread. I am having a problem with the Multimedia Audio Controller not wanting to install. In Device Manager it is under "Other Devices" with a ? on both the controller and Other Devices. I have tried several Intel driver files, but nothing works.

Here is my Everest report:

This is the link to your Intel D845GLVA motherboard drivers, No:5 is the SigmaTEL onboard audio http://downloadfinder.intel.com/scri...4&submit=Go%21

but if you have a Sound Card installed this driver will not work.

if you have onboard sound and install this driver but
Set a System Restore Point before installing just in case

Hope this helps
