HELP, i have (stupidly) uninstalled a via ac97 driver and cannot for the life of me determine what excactly i should be downloading to reinstall, and get my sound back! under device manager it says i have not installed any drivers for the multimedia audio controller .I have downloaded everest home and can give any info required but am a little confused i guess as to my sound chip. I have not got a sound card i know for sure so i assume i have onboard sound. but when i access 'everest' it says under pci/pnp audio : sis 7012 audio device. strange because i have had the via driver running on it just before i removed the driver (why? why did i do it?) and now i have no sound at all , not even the token windows greeting or any little speaker icon in the task bar. any help would be greatly appreciated ( i have been trying to solve this for hours now) and i would be happy to add any info you may require. PLEASE HELP.
ps : if it helps i am running
amd athlon xp 1600+
windows xp svc pack 2
