Ok, I have a P4 1500MhZ PC. It has a QDI PlatiniX 2 MB. The multi media audio adapter according to the specs is a Intel 82801BA(M)ICH2X/M -AC'97 Audio Controller.

I formatted my pc the other day to get rid off all the crap. And when I reinstalled Windows 2000 it said it couldn't find the drivers for my MULTIMEDIA AUDIO CONTROLLER. I've tried downloading the proper drivers and I can't find it anywhere. This is an onboard sound card.
Under device manager, you guessed it, the old exclamation box has arrived.

I'm going nuts. I'm almost at the point where I just want to buy an old used sound card to avoid all this extra stupid stress for no reason. Why would this all of a sudden not work? I don't remember going through this crap ever before. Just now. WHY WHY WHY!! I can't even find the drivers for this crap!! ARG !! Please help.

Rahul

A good way to waste a day's pay.
