Multimedia Audio Controller

I had to call tech suport this morning after apparently my system for unkown reason had reset the configurations.

Tech support had me go to BIOS to fix. However now I too have >  the Mulitmedia Audio Controller attempts to automatically install itself upon booting but fails and there is a yellow exclamation point in the Device Manager indicating it is not functioning properly.  There does not seem to be any problems with my audio though.

Tech support told me to that this happens sometimes etc. But no fix for it .

Is there one. If you get one Bike Racer or if anyone else has a fix please let me know.

Thanks,

Steve

Ok, I emailed dell support and they sent me some steps that got it working. I don't know what type of audio card you have but I have: Analog Devices ADI 198x Integrated Audio.

Email from dell:

As I understand from your e-mail message, you are getting an "audio
controller driver missing" error message after reinstalling the
operating system. The most probable cause of this problem can be
the lack of the required audio drivers. Please perform the following
steps to get detailed information about installing the required audio
drivers for your system.

1. Open the web-site: www.support.dell.com.

2. If available click on "Home and Home Office" under the "Consumer"
