| 749373 | 2009-02-19 12:15:00 | After power failer to the computer when doing some updating of files my computer decided that it would be okay to say "There is no operating system on this computer"... So I reinstalled everything, pulled out my restore cd and found its not working (will blame my brother). I've been getting good luck with most things, installed and updated a lot of drivers I didn't even have before this problem and sloved some others I had. But my sound card is one that windows can not detect, and not other software packages I have tried can see it either. I am sure its an onboard sound card as I can't see a thing in their that is relating to sound. My computer is a crappy piece of *, brought from DTR. Its called an Synergy 370 Computer, and the documentations from them do not list any sound card specs (or really specs of anything!). The manufactor is willing to give me a driver CD for money, however I rather see if I can do this myself before going down that road. I've tried two programs so far, SIW (System Information for Windows), and SiSoftware Sandra. Any ideas on how I can find out what my Sound card is? |

| 749375 | 2009-02-19 12:34:00 | Interesting... Device Auido reports as being "IXP SB450 High Definition Audio Controller" from Miscro-Star International... now to find a driver for it and see if I can get sounds. Thanks for the tip off! |

| 749377 | 2009-02-19 12:47:00 | Yes. I didn't find anything that I thought was trust worthy so I thought of looking at what the motherboard was... Found out that I can get the drivers from MSI. So I'm downloading that, and wondering if I had ever heard of some of these names that the drivers are for... but hey Im deleting everything on this hard drive anyway so I don't mind if I break it LOL. Right now to wait for that download. |

| 749378 | 2009-02-19 13:16:00 | I have sound now! mmmm yay!!! | AnokFero (13401) | ||
| 749379 | 2009-03-05 10:13:00 | Instead of opening a new topic, I thought I would reuse this one since its relating to the same problem. Winxp has just now found 'new hardware' and called it a 'SM Bus Controller'. I have never seen this before and only found out what it is called. I have recently installed something that does something similar - if I'm right in that it checks Power consumption, Temptures etc inside the computer which may have caused this problem. My biggest problem now is finding out where I might go to get it back to where it should be, I know I have a RS482M4-ILD motherboard from MSI, I believe I have the drivers listed on that page, and I have (I believe) all the drivers listed for this motherboard from other sources installed on my pc, but there is no suggestions of anything with SM, Bus and Controller listed in the driver names. Where are places I can look to find the one that will work for my pc? |

| 749380 | 2009-03-05 10:22:00 | Theyre probably the chipset drivers. Go to the motherboard site and look for the model of the mobo. Download the chipset drivers, install them |

| 749381 | 2009-03-05 10:23:00 | Yea looks like it has ATI chipset so you need to download the chipset drivers from MSI or ATI. | CYaBro (73) | ||
