Hi People,
I have built a new PC from scratch and used all relevent CD's for OS,Drivers etc... However In Device manager I have the famous yellow '?' with the exclamation mark ! (you know what I mean guys?...)
Anyways, under SOUND the problem is C-Media AC97 Audio Device...
Any help please?
thanks ;)
 
Cheers Trizoy, just looked again and in other Devices It said SM BUS CONTROLLER.... any help again please?
PS That is all so far honest.....
 
Found this:

Step #1:

Visit this link and get the CrystalCPUID utility (freeware)

Install and run, it will give you a plethora of details on your system.

Chipset and your motherboard model is what you want to know, mine was ATI Radeon Xpress 200 and MS-7093 (an OEM motherboard)

Step #2 Head to the appropriate web site for your MOTHERBOARD manufacturer and snag their version of the chipset update, in my case I got the one nearest match, I have a Gateway STORE only motherboard, made by MSI
(Microstar) so MSI had it here, it looked rather odd that I had to download this whole thing, but the install program was smart, and only gave me what I needed which afterwards the SM Bus Controller was no longer at issue in Device Manager, and upgraded some other drivers as well.

Link to driver page I got mine from, just in case it helps anyone.

I got the ATI System Drivers for RS480 XP/2000 version, installed, and all done.
 
I have got the driver/file for C-Media AC97 Audio Device and device manager says it is working fine,however when its selected to play music etc I can't hear anything. Any help guys?
 
yeah.I have already set it to that device and nothing.. Yet when I put it onto the other one i.e wavetable everything works fine.
