I re-formatted my disk and reloaded Windows XP. Everything works great ... except I have no sound. In the Device Manager, the multimedia audio controller has a big yellow question mark on it.

How and where do I get a sound driver?

What brand and model is your computer?

you can also use a program like Unknown Devices to see 'hidden' information about your hardware that might help you locate drivers for it.

You get it from your motherrbard or your sound cards manufacturer.

i think this is your motherboard:

so unless in mistaken, this is your audio driver:
