    Hi guys..

    I need some help..the sound has stopped working on my work pc..I went in to device manager and there is a question mark beside Multimedia Audio Controller.

    From looking at the net..all i have to do is download a soundcard driver..but the pc is custom built and i am afraid to download a driver in case its the wrong one. If i posted some details about the pc could some one give me some advice as to what driver I need to download please?????

    yep just post up the model of the sound card and the operating system if its 32 or 64 bit.

    have you tried right clicking on the question mark beside Multimedia Audio Controller and tried to update driver that way ?

    the only thing i get from that is your runnin win xp service pk 3 dont see any sound card specs there . im assuming that its integrated sound from the mo/bo you are using if so its the ac97 codec you need from realtek which you can download here
