heres the problem, i just recently formatted my intel desktop computer with a windows xp home edition CD from a toshiba laptop and now there is no sound. in the device manager there is a yellow question mark next to "multimedia audio controller" and it says "The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28)". i tried windows update and still coudln't get the software for the driver. please help!
Hi Raoul.
he-he-he, my first answer was most confus-ed ! :thumbs2: , as I thought you were talking about a Toshiba laptop :rolleyes: .. so I'll rephrase it, just what model pc are talking about ? (particularly we'd want details of the soundcard, but you mayn't know about that, so a tool like this Everest Home can be helpful)
thanks for the reply, ok i downloaded everest and made a report of "multimedia". i dont know which of this is relevant so heres the whole thing

Aaah a nice easy one :D
click here to open SIS downloads page (is a bit slow so be patient). click on Audio Driver, Click on SIS 7012, click on xp, click go and agree then download the file. It will probably need to be extracted first, then click the setup file to install it.
i downloaded the file but when i try to setup it says UpdateDriverForPlugAndPlayDevices -536870397 then it says "failed to install audio driver for xp, setup will exit"
ok, back to everest - what model does it say the motherboard is?

forgive my ignorance but when i download and setup a driver is it supposed to work automatically? i setup all of the drivers in the link above then tried to update driver through device manager but still no result
Setup is supposed to install it, but it can get confused... from device manager uninstall or remove any unknown devices or any devices with a ! including the multimedia audio controller and then close device manager then immediately run the setup again. When it's complete, restart the computer if the audio setup does not ask you to. When it restarts it may find a few other devices... just let it get on with it. Open device manager and watch it install.
Hi NooNoo I saw you helping another member on windrivers (forum) with the error message 'UpdateDriverForPlugAndPlayDevices -536870397'

Welcome to Windrivers lrt
First thing to try is to reinstall the sound driver
Already tried, but I haven't got a disk so it doesn't allow me.
EDIT: Thanks for the welcome :)
Haven't got what disk and what doesn't allow you? You need to say exactly what happens when you install the driver.
Ok, I downloaded the file in that link on your reply and it just come up with a huge word document :S
Anyways all I need is a new sound driver that doesnt need a disk to install.
This is because the computer is pre-made (home built) and It didnt come with any disks.
I will supply any information needed.
I have everest so ask away :)
Thanks alot.
Did you just right click on the link I posted and saved as? If so, that's why you got a document. You have to click the link and then click the download link which will download a file called audio.zip.
If you built this yourself, how did you load Windows without a CD?
sorry, I didnt build it, I will do the download again then update you if its sorted or not
This was made by another compter guy... And its really my grandmas computer.
I dont know how she got windows or whatever.
Does it have a certificate of authenticity on the case?
Whoa... I don't mainly use this computer, and i dont know that much about them. This was built by another person and was sold to my grandma.
I think she had to activate things and pay extra money... Lol dont confuse me. All I need is a new working sound driver. My down load has just finished so I will check it now.
Ok I finished extracting it (to the desktop) Now do I run the setup.exe file within the 5410 folder?
Hang on a minute, Is this soundMAX im installing o.O?
:OOPS SORRY FOR MULTI POSTING:
I just asked you to look for a label on the case. What's confusing about that? it will look like one of these
OMG THE SOUND WORKS!!!
And I dont know what case.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!
ZOMG THIS FORUMS ROX.
Im going to advertise you on youtube!!!
Thanks very much HUGELY apreciated!
Yes and it is ADI/Soundmax.Quote:
