Win Xp Pro Sound Problems

[Morphme]

I had a Hp a305w Pc with a 40 GB HDD I removed it and insalled a 200 GB HDD.

I then installled Win Xp Pro on HDD installation was successful. I noticed that the volume icon was missing on the task bar so i went to device manager to check for any conflict and there were three

Multimedia Audio Controller

SM Bus Controller

Video Controller (VGA) Compitable


I have no trouble using my Ethernet Card.


When I check my volume setp in the control panal everything greyed out.
It also says no audio device.

My mobo is a Trigem Imperial _GLVE 200221218

Any help would be appreciated.

Download the Video, Audio and Usb drivers from here.

Unzip the drivers, if necessary, and install them. Note, use only the drivers for Windows XP

I just wanted to know about the USB. Do i need to fix them also

[TripleRLtd]

Huh? You talked about sound problems, not USB problems. So, what is the EXACT problem?

BTW
Welcome to WD Morphme.

You need to install the motherboard drivers and service pack 1 by the sounds of things.

Should I uninstall these in safe mode then download AC'97 drivers in safe mode or normal mode.

Multimedia Audio Controller << sound ac97 drivers
SM Bus Controller << motherboard drivers - intel inf
Video Controller << vga or display or graphics driver


Can't look at your link, it is not working, can you check it please?

Installing the drivers should be enough to clear those problems... start with the intel inf motheboard drivers.

I'm a little dumb when it comes to computers. I'm just learning forgive me.

But which is the intel info for SM Bus controller?

2. INF Update Utility [INFINST.EXE]

its part of the install that it performs... download it to a folder you can find say c:\intel driver
double click the downloaded file, follow the prompts.

[Morphme]

I love it worked. Thank you thank you thank you.

For the Multimedia Audio Controller Ac '97 drivers should i use this link hxxp://www.e4allinc.info/dir1/motherboards/socket478/imperial_downloads.htm

And for the Video Controller should i use

1. Graphics Driver [WIN2k_XP145.EXE]

on this intel site

use the e4 all links for both the video and the sound. The intel drivers are "reference" drivers, meaning that they only drive the basics... while emachines are not noted for their specialist stuff, it is possible that their driver has been specially written for the emachine.

[Morphme]

I did use the e4 link everything's fine now i have sound now and the video controller and SM bus controller are working great.

Thanks for your help in guiding me to the right drivers Noo Noo.

There's one more quesion i have for you Noo Noo can I intall WIN 2000 Pro over WIN XP Home.








Thanks for the link Jaimicook.

[NooNoo]

Why do you want to? You can dual boot or you can remove xp home, but having just sorted this out, I do not understand the reasoning.
