Multimedia audio controller driver for windows 7 on compaq presario r3000

I installed Windows 7 on Laptop Compaq Presario R3000. Everything is fine, however, multi media controller driver was not installed. I would appreciate if you let me know where I can get it. I have Driver CD for Windows XP that came with my computer. Thanks.
This question was solved.

You're very welcome.
Looks to me like you have to manually install the XP audio driver as follows...
Download and run this file. If it installs the audio, great. If not...close out of any error windows.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-18403-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&...
Go to the device manager and click on the multimedia audio controller needing drivers.
Click on the driver tab. Click on Update Driver. Select the Browse my computer for driver software and browse to:
C:\SWSetup\sp27325\SMAXWDM\W2K_XP\smwdmNV8, and select the SoundMAX Integrated Digital Audio device from the list and see if the driver installs that way.
Then reboot.

Need"multimedia audio controller" driver for pavilion zv5340us running XPsp3

Just received a free HP Pavilion zv5340us and can not find the driver for the multimedia audio controller.
Searched everywhere on the net (HP website, Driverguide,etc...) and on my XP cd.
I have everything else working but I have no sound.
Running XP SP3. Does anyone have this driver?

Hi:
I see there are no audio drivers for your notebook on the support page, nor does the product description say much about the audio that would help, so...
Click on the multimedia audio controller in the device manager. Then click on the details tab. Post the top string of characters you see there. Those will hopefully ID the manufacturer and model of your audio card, and I can try and find the driver link to post for it.

Help With Multimedia Audio Controller Driver For XP Pro

Hello,
Please help!!!
I am trying to locate the Multimedia Audio Controller Driver for XP Pro for an MSI 645 ULTRA (A6547MS) Motherboard. The audio device is integrated into the motherboard and Windows XP Pro is not recognizing the device.
I have tried looking at MSI Support Website but am unable to identify which is the correct driver package to use.
I would also like to know if there are any related WinXP Supplement driver package needed for this motherboard.

Did you do a clean installation of XP or you only use the upgrade function?
I recommend you to do clean installation if you didn't.

Multimedia Audio Controller, and Video Controller(VGA compatible) are missing on Windows XP(32Bit) SP3

Hi.
My Desktop Computer(Intel P 4, 512MB of RAM, and Graphics Card with 256MB of RAM)
Also, My Desktop Computer with P 4 doesn't have any access internet since there is no network adapter is installed. As a result, I would not be able to run the pc scan utility, or Reader a web-based applet that identifies my GPU or Audio controller
and finds the latest graphics driver for my GPU, and Audio.
I have two Windows XP installations:
Windows XP SP2(32Bit) which is old and it seems it infected by some viruses.
I have installed another fresh clean Windows XP(32Bit) SP3. However, I have two devices not detected well by Windows XP.
First of all, when saying that I have multi-operationgs systems, I mean there are two operating systems installed on my PC(SP2, SP3) both are 32Bit. The first Windows SP2(NOT installed by me) has all multimedia audio card installed well,
and has SCSI and RAID Host Controller shown the device manager. However, only the VGA is not installed on Windows SP2. However, the second one Windows SP3(Installed by me) has VGA not installed, Multimedia audio NOT installed, and there is no SCSI and RAID
Host Controller in device manager.
First: Yes, my motherboard has integrated video, and integrated audio card
According to the screen shots above, then
The vendor ID of Multimedia Audio Controller is 8086 and the device ID is
24D5.
The vendor ID of Video Controller is 8086 and the device ID is
2572.
I AM EXPECTING THAT KNOWING THE VENDOR ID AND THE DEVICE ID WILL LET ME QUICKLY FIND THE APPROPRIATE DRIVER. HOWEVER, I COULDN'T FIND THE APPROPRIATE DRIVER.
Thus, could you please help me to find them?
I have tried installing a soundMAX card driver, however, I found this error.
I have checked the other Windows XP SP2(32Bit) which is oder installed, and it seems it infected by some viruses.
However, the Multimedia Audio on that Windows is installed well. As here: I only posted these screen shots to show what kind of device is Multimedia Audio Card

Multimedia Audio Controller Er

For some reason after I formatted my hard dri've, the sound card isn't recognized. There is no little speaker in the system tray and no sound options at all. I don't have the driver cd. The model number is sb0220. It is a Sound Blaster Li've 5. Digital. What do i do to get rid of the error and have sound? Thank you.

I realize that this is an old post but hopefully someone can point me in the right direction... I was trying to clean up my add/remove programs and i had meant to hit the one above but some how i got rid of the Multimedia Audio Controller ... I have SoundBlaster Audigy 2. this card was installed because the computer had come with a sound card built in on the motherboard and kid broke off the end of the plug in the headset/speaker thingie.
I cannot find my disks (we moved since I instlaled and cant find a blessed thing). How do I get this device working again... Right now its showing up under other devices with big ? ... says Multimedia Audio Controller.
On my add/remove list it shows the CREATIVE MEDIASOURCE (which was RIGHT below the accidentally removed item) and then much further down I see that SOUND BLASET AUDIGY 2 is still installled. In my Device Manager I have listed the following (Somebelong to that sound card on the motherboard I am sure)
Audio Codecs
Intel(r)8280BA/BAM AC97 Controller
Legacy Audio Drivers
Legacy Videio Capture Devces
Media Control Devices
Unimodem Half-Duplex Audio Device
Video Codec
PLEASE tell me how to get this Multimedia Audio Controller reinstalled so I can again use my SB Audigy 2 card (since I cant use the other with that darn plug stuck inside). I have tried to upgrade the SB Audigy 2 drivers but that didnt seem to work.
I would be most grateful to whomever may be able to help me with this problem!

Multimedia audio controller

Hello
I have a compaq presario SR1130UK and had to put a new hard drive in, everything is working fine other than the multimedia audio controller which has a yellow question mark next to it. This website will recognise my PC but says that it can't check nything on my system. Can you please help with which driver I will need.
Thanks
This question was solved.
View Solution.

You're very welcome.
I don't see the driver you need for the audio chip on your PC's support and driver page but see if the audio driver from the HP Evo d510 works as it uses the same audio chip yours does.

Multimedia Audio Controller WORKAROUND fo

Hello all,?I am experiencing occasional/frequent loss of Audio in both XP Pro and Vista for my X-FI extreme gamer card. After hours of troubleshooting i have discovered the following workaround that may help you if you are experiencing a similar problem. Symptom.Upon initial boot of either XP or Vista the audio has?gone. Multimedia Audio Controller evident?in device manager with exclamation mark. Drivers and Software unchanged since last reboot?How to apply workaround:NOTE: Do not remove drivers or any other software before proceding with the steps below. , Turn off your PC2, Open chassis3, Remove X-FI card4, Boot system again without card in5, Do nothing and turn PC off again6, Re-insert card7, Boot machine into OS again8, Enjoy sound once more?This works everytime for me I can only think its something to do with HAL (Hardware Abstraction Layer) on initial boot. I can only hope Creative take note of this workaround and fix this soon. For the record i am using both latest drivers for XP and Vista. Apologies if this doesn't work for you I only have one machine so cannot replicate. Tim

There is an alternati've, search this site **removed competitor link** . Can't give you specifics since the mods here will end up removing my post if I do but you can start there. Problem with the alternati've is the expense and the fact that it has only recently released beta drivers for support in Vista with openAL. I don't have this alternati've and I don't know anyone personally that does so I can't honestly say it's better or worse.
*Can't post links to competitor product stores either. Dale-CLMessage Edited by Dale-CL on 08-03-2007 04:30 PM

Multimedia Audio Controller issues "The data is Invalid"

can someone please explain to me what that meens and how to resolve the issue?
Uninstalling and reinstalling has done nothing, roll back drivers has done nothing and also defeats the purpose of updating drivers. This issue began when i was prompted to update drivers, so i did and BANG no more sound.
All files on the DVD install ACCEPT the WDM drivers which im guessing are pretty important. Everytime they try and install i get a Data invalid message and the typical yellow exclamation mark in the device manager over 2 options. High definition audio and Multimedia Audio Controller.
This has hppened to me anytime ive ever tried to update drivers, only way i fixed it was to reinstall OS, really not keen to do that anymore, just to install a sound driver.
Also, they really should not be telling us to update sound drivers, because they never ever update properly,without hassle.
Using XtremeMusic X-Fi SB04606
Windows XP
ASUS P5B Deluxe Wi-FI
Intel core 2 duo 2.67Ghz
3Gb's ram
P.s The sound card was workin before i tried to update teh drivers from the Creative Support Website. I followed instructions there and my sound card is no longer working.

Hi,
You might want to attempt the following registry fix. It is strongly recommended to back up the current registry settings and create a restore point before proceeding.
1. Select Start - Run and type regedit to open the Registry Editor.
2. Browse to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\ENUM\P CI and you see a number of keys in the form VEN_xxxx, where xxxx are strings such as VEN_1102&DEV_0004&SUBSYS_00511102&REV_03.
3. Under each of these folders you will find another folder with a long numerical name. Open each folder and look for the DeviceDesc which matches the hardware you want to install.
4. Right Click on the VEN_xxxx for that device and select Permissions and then tick Allow for Full Control.
5. Close Regedit and then continue with the installation of your device.
You might also want to download the file PNPREG.EXE from www.microsoft.com, and run the pnpreg tool from a command prompt. After downloading the file, select Start - Run and type COMMAND. At the Command prompt, type Pnpreg -l.

Multimedia Audio Controller/driver prob

Help me please.
OK i just got my first sound card today; an X-Fi xtream music.
And i have the problem where i cant install the drivers. I get Multimedia Audio controller as a yellow question mark in the device manager, when XP copies files from the CD to the windows/drivers32 folders (or what ever it is called) it does not work and says there is a data error and this is after installing from the creative cd and XP still says new hardware detected. I have seen a lot of posts about this but the answers are not working for me.
I HAVE DISABLED MY ONBOARD AUDIO through bios, which seemed to fix everyone else's problems.
I have completely uninstalled every audio device/driver i could get my hands on and then reinstalled as a selecti've startup, in the system configuration utility thingo. I cant get rid of 'legacy audio drivers' but i think thats to be expected
I have a logitech quickcam webcam, which i have disabled if that helps anything
I downloaded and ran the 40MB driver update.
I have tried using other PCI slots (do u need to to reinstall the drivers after trying a new slot?)
I am using an asus p4s800-mx se motherboard, Win XP SP2
and i think that sums up everything i have been doing for the last 6 to 7 hours
Also someone was saying irq stuff, i have no idea but here is mine:
http://members.optusnet.com.au/~mike440/irq.JPGAlso apparently i am "ACPI uniprocessor PC"
Does any of this help narrow down my problem? I bet it is something basic, it always is but i am just sick to death of restarting and reinstalling. I hope it does not come down to me reinstalling XP, i only did that the other month and it takes for ever to get my settings back the way i like it and it would not be worth having a soundcard.
Thanks

Soundblaster Live! Platinum, Windows XP SP2 & "Multimedia Audio Controller" w/Yellow Question M

I am setting up a brand new PC, but using some old trusted parts, like my SB Li've! Platinum, with the Li've Dri've.
In the past, setting up with Windows XP w/SP never resulted in any problems. I would have the Li'veDrvUni-Pack(ENG).exe file on CD and once I booted to the Windows Desktop, I could browse the CD, install the drivers without incident.
Enter Windows XP w/SP2 ... this is a fresh install with SP2 slipstreamed into the install media. This comes direct from Microsoft via MSDN Download, and is not a home grown piece of install media.
When the installation completes, I have sound, but I also have the following:
In the Device Manager, under Other Devices, I have an entry for:Multimedia Audio Controller (yellow question mark)
I also have under Sound, video and game controllers, entries for:Creative SB Li've! (WDM)Creative SBLi've! Gameport
When I launch the programs in the Sound Blaster Li've! group, I get the following:
a) Audio HQ"Cannot initialize audio dri've. Reinstall audio driver.
b) Creative Sound Mixer"CeDevcon.dll has returned an error. Mixer will now exit.
c) Creative Restore Defaults"There were some errors encountered while restorine your soundcard's settings. Some settings could not be restored.
d) Creative DiagnosticsMixer Driver - FailSoundFont Setting - FailMixer Settings Check - Fail
d.) Begin Fix"Some files required by Creative Diagnostics are missing or having problems. Please reinstall the software from your installation media.Message Edited by boggsie on 2-06-2004 05:26 AM

I received the following instructions from Creative Support (via e-mail):
To clean sweep the SB Li've, please:
) go to Safe Mode (restart and press F8 for safe mode).
2) Then go to the Device Manager.
3) To get there in XP, right click on My Computer, go to Properties, choose the Hardware tab and Device Manager button.
4) Now remove all listings for Creative (or any other old audio software) in Device Manager under "Sound, Video & Game Controllers."
5) If you see anything called a MPU40 device, disable that as well (not remove, just right click and disable).
6) Also if you have a category called "Other Devices", remove any sound oriented listings there also.
7) Then go to the Control Panel, to Add/Remove Programs.
8) Find your Creative Sound Card and remove it. Select ALL.
9) After it is finished it will ask you to reboot your computer. Say No.
0)Then go back to Add/Remove and look for any more Creative listings (or listings for any old audio devices) and remove them all.
)Then right click on the Start button and go to Explore.
2)On the left side of the screen, scroll to the top, click on the + by the C dri've. Go down to Program Files.
3)Under Program Files, completely delete the Creative folder, just right click it and delete.
4)Then re-start your computer.
5)After windows is completely up, now reinstall your Creative software from then original installation CD
6)Then the updates we have available for it on our website.
7)It should all go in properly now.
8)Download the driver: Sound Blaster Li've! -Li'veDrvUni-Pack (English) from the link below.http://us.creative.com/support/downloads/
