No audio.
Hi,
Here is my problem. I reinstalled Windows XP and now my audio isn't working. Like many others my device manager says "multimedia audio controller" isn't working. So I guess I need a new driver. I don't know how to install a new driver or where to find the right one. I have looked everywhere.
My PC is a Dell Dimension 2300 running Windows XP and the driver is apparently called an 82801DB AC97 Audio Controller [ICH4A1 step]. That I learned using Unknown Device Identifier 5.02 but it doesn't help me much. :confused:
Could someone please tell me how to install a driver and where to find one?
Thanks!

Follow the on-screen installation instructions in the window.
These are the correct drivers for your system.
If they don't work post back as there is another problem.
