Multimedia Controller

[angryassdrummer]

After getting rid of a virus on my comp my audio has stopped working.
On device manager it says its the Multimedia Audio Controller
Downloaded drivers from gigabyte but hasnt changed anything
The motherboard is a Gigabyte 8S661FXM-RZ
What do i need to do to get audio again?

Have you tried redownloading your soundcard drivers? Or is this onboard audio?

[angryassdrummer]

how do i find out what sound card i have?
I used Belarc to find out what my motherboard was
doesnt seem to be a sound card section
says C-Media AC97 Audio Device.......would that be it?

Go into safemode and delete your soundcard from the device manager. Reboot and see if it re-detects it and fixes it.

[angryassdrummer]

stupid question but

How do i go into safe mode and disable sound card?

[guns1inger]

Restart your computer and as soon as the bios screen flash past, start hitting F8. You will be given a simple text menu and Safe Mode will be one of the options.

Once it has booted (and this will take longer than normal), right-click on My Computer and select Manage. Click on Device Manager, find your sound card, and uninstall it. Reboot the system and see what happens.

Do you have a TV capture or tuner card in the system at all ?

[angryassdrummer]

no i dont.

All thats happened is that i had a msn virus, did a system restore, worked fine for a few days then the other day i booted up the computer and no audio.

Has happened once before too, but i found the driver cd. Last time i think it was just the audio drivers off the motherboard where this time it says it is the Multimedia Audio Controller.

Will try safe mode now

[angryassdrummer]

boot up regular and change your resolution to 800x600 @ 60 mhz

In order to change the mhz click advanced on the setting tab then click monitor tab clcik the down arrow

Now see if you can boot to safe mode

stiltman I think you meant 800x600@ 60hz. 60 Mhz would be a heck of a refresh rate

Sorry, I couldn't resist throwing that in. Slow morning at work.
