About to kill my computer
Hello, ive read a few threads about this problem, which i am having about the Intel 82801EB(M) ICH5 AC'97 Audio controller, it is built in to my intel P4 motherboard i belive.
Motherboard- Intel Springdale i865PE
AC'97 Audio Controller: Audio Controller Type - Intel 82801EB(M) ICH5
Codec Name - Analog Devices AD1981b(L)
Computer Type / Model - Sony Viao Model PCV-2232
I have no sound ATM after installing windows home edition, My Ethernet Controller and my Mulitmedia controller device both show up in "Other Devices", with big yellow ?! by both of them. "The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28)
To reinstall the drivers for this device, click Reinstall Driver."
Well, for my Audio controller, i have done that... didnt find ANY...
So i went to Sony.com For support and to try to find the driver. This is were it gets very annoying, it turns out there is no Model: PCV-2232....So i looked threw many many many diffrent models looking for the right drivers, trying them all. I do happen to remeber that the Driver before ( I think) Was a SoundMAX driver.
So i whent to SoundMAX.com.. Which was at all NO HELP at all. Searched on Google for hours finding Intel SoundMAX Drivers and Trying to install them. Well, for EACH one when it got to 100% installing, an Error pops up "Driver not found!:Please reboot and run this program again." Well i did that.. still the same error.
Then i whent on trying RealTek drivers, which were on some of the models of Sony Viao's...That was the closest i got, it put the hardware in... but at 100% of installing the stuff from Device manager(Reinstall Driver button) my computer shuts off and reboots without installing it. Ive been reading how to fix this for hours and hours now.... getting very mad :confused: that none of this is working, ive given up and made a post here(as you can tell..)
Please help!!
If you need anymore info on my computer specs, um ill try to give them but i have no idea really how to find them out.
