    I bought a built computer, great computer, no sound. Only thing not working properly would be the multimedia audio controller. Don't know how to check anything to see what driver or where to get it from. Do any of the Driver scanning programs you pay for actually fix something like this. Or can you help?

    :wave Welcome to Major Geeks! :major
    DO NOT pay for any of those "driver repair" type of programs. Many of them are borderline viruses, and they don't do anything you can't do yourself with a little patience and know-how.... and YES, we can help. You're in the right place. However, your post is very light on details; we need to know what version of Windows you're running, and some info about your hardware ("hardware" means "the parts in your computer"). So, please read this article and then post again. ;)

    Is there more info you need? And the sound was a no go when I bought the computer. The controller that has the yellow ! beside it is located on the list in other devices. While I was trying to take bits and pieces of bad advice, i uninstalled it, so now when I start my computer up, i get the lovely, New hardware message found, but it cannot be installed. Need more info?
