5085	2000-06-13 08:36:00	After partitioning and formating the hard drive on my year old PC, certain things are not working but I am getting it back together. The one causing problems now is the audio. It is only barely audible. Micrsoft System Information reports under PCI Multimedia Audio Device that the driver is not installed. The only place I can find a driver is in the Dell Resource CD where two drivers for the Yamaha are listed. Using the resource CD, I installed each one in turn but there was no improvement. Am I installing them incorrectly when I just double click on the setup.exe file from within the Resource CD? It starts the setup routine and appears to load a driver. I have also tried in Device Manager, the Remove command on the PCI Multimedia Audio Device. When windows restarts, it detects a new device but them it can't find a driver for it. Got me beat! P.S. Device Manager displays PCI Multimedia Audio Device as a yellow question mark and reports also that the driver is not installed. Clicking re-install drivers does not help as it can't find the driver, even if the Dell Resource CD is in the CD drive. The PC is a Dell Dimension V433C (Celeron) and should have a Yamaha 64 Voice Wavetable Integrated Sound thingy (card?) installed. I have win98 (not second edition). Apart from Win, I have reloaded Work Suite 99 and the Epson driver successfully. The reason for wanting to reload everything was virus infections and the PC was quite erratic and had lots of things screwed up.	Guest (0)
