Inspiron 530 drivers for Multimedia Audio Controller and SM Bus Controller

Question

Working with an Inspiron 530 desktop with Vista Home Basic.

In device manager, under other devices, I have two entries. Both have the yellow exclamation point.

-Multimedia Audio Controller

-SM Bus controller

If I go to the Dell website and look up the service tag I cannot find anything that matches this description.

There is an audio driver listed which I downloaded and installed... but that is for the RealTek device listed under Sound, video and game controllers.

Having device manager search for drivers did not turn up anything.

Any suggestions on where I could further identify these devices and find the drivers would be greatly appreciated.

I did try to find the orginal bill of material on the Dell website, but none was listed.

Thanks,

Tomster2

I was working remotely and after the user steadfastly insisted no audio cards had been added to the computer - for the first hour I spent trying to resolve this - he finally said... Oh, I remember now, we did add a sound card.

That was the missing device.
