| 520239 | 2007-01-29 06:38:00 | Hi Guys I have read the previous thread re "Multimedia Audio Contoller".\ I have a different issue Clean XPPro SP2 install ASUS P4S800-MX Mobo Start/Settings?Control Panel/System-Hardware tab-Decice Manager-Other Devices. Yellow Question mark over "Multimedia Audio Contoller" Right Click-Properties Device Status says"The driver for this device is not installed (code 28) Details tab-Device Instance ID shows PCI\VEN-1039&Dev_7012&Subsys_810D1043&Rev_A0\3&31AAA01&0&17 I assumed that this was a bad audio driver and downloaded from the ASUS site SoundMax Audio driver Version 5.12.01.3665WHQL for W98/ME/2K/XP There is an install file but this literally does nothing when selected If I try to load the driver by browsing to the folder, there are no drivers seen to be selected. Am I missing something? Does anyone have any suggestions? Cheers HH |

Some drivers have exe install files, which saves u going to the device manager and browsing to a folder and selecting the inf file. And since you've just reinstalled XP install the motherboard drivers first, before anything else. |
