No Sound :(

[jpdionne94]

I too am having problems with my computers sound. It's the Multimedia Audio Controller problem that it seems like everyone is having. We have the big yellow question mark in the device manager. We reinstalled the OS (windows xp) on the kids computer and now they can't play any of their computer games because it says we have no sound device at all. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

Let me know if I have all the info needed.....

Just wanted to say a quick "Thank you" for your help (not!).

Looks like they pick and choose who they are going to help....

Hi! Is there anyone who could help me. I have a windows xp. The sound isn't working. I by accidently deleted multimedia audio controller and most of the sounds devices have question marks on them. Please help! It would mean a lot to me!
