Multimedia Controller

**shot07** · September 6th, 2004, 02:48 PM

My sound is built into my motherboard and the driver for the "multimedia controller" somehow disappeared after I reinstalled windows xp. I've reinstalled windows before and this has never happened. I need the driver for this device and the manufacturer isn't responding to my e-mails. My motherboard is a syntax sv266a. I would really apreciate any help on this issue since playing games isn't quite the same with no sound. Thanks. :P

Welcome to windrivers shot07. This should be it: http://www.viaarena.com/?PageID=328.

You may also need the chipset drivers here: http://www.viaarena.com/?PageID=403. You want the 2nd set (version 4.43).

Or you can have the whole lot for your board in German: http://www.syntax-board.com/html/treiber.html

This board uses an AC'97 audio device. The link for that is here

The chipset drivers for that mobo can be found here;
http://www.via.com.tw/en/support/drivers.jsp

You need cookies enabled - then select Microsoft Windows, Windows XP, Hyperion pro (4in1) chipset drivers, and you'll get a page offering 2 possible packages - take the one hudsonsmith recommended (the lower 'retro' one).

Audio drivers can also be selected there - AC97 is what you want.
