PCI Multimedia Audio Device

[keepingbusy]

Hi all

Just re-formatted the hard drive and as a result, that dreaded message about "New device found etc.." appears and is looking for the PCI Multimedia Audio Device driver. Well it cant be found so I've looked at the registry and discovered that the card is Silicon Intergrated System and having visited

http://www.yourvote.com/pci

and found out where to get the drivers, I have over the past few days downloaded all the drivers but none of them are recognised with the windows message "Windows could not find the drivers etc....".
Can anyone please suggest anything to reslove this issue as it is now at the "desperation stage"

Many thanks

If u got the executable of ur sound card driver, install it again. It will then prompt u for new device installed. let me know whats written on ur soundcard ( I mean on the chip) and which windows u using.

Hi pakiman

I've found most things but how do I get the info about "Whats written on the chip"?

By the way, the operating system is Windows ME and thanks for your time

Hi pakiman

With a slight bit of luck, a friend of mine had a CD called PC-CILLIN 2000 and all the drivers god ever created for this particular system were present. So the problem has been fixed at last.

Thanks for taking the time to reply and if this helps anyone in the future please take a look at the Microsoft KB question 298837 - "How to use registry editor to indentify an unknown PCI device" (It works great) and when you've found what your looking for take a look at

Hope this helps anyone who found themselves in one of the "most traumatic life experiences when it comes to computers" event!!

Good luck
