- Lumberjack76I have done everything you said and that error multimedia audio controller has disappeared after restart. I tried to turn on a song and I still cant hear anything. It was working normally before after my format. I have checked the cables and stuff and i'm sure that its ok. So i think the problem is within the computer programs and stuff.Any other suggestions you can give me?

Asdmen....Here is the link to download the audio driver for Dim 8400 with windows XP.Choose Analog devices if you have an integrated card.Download the driver and save it on the desktop, open device manager (right-click my computer>properties>hardware>device manager), right-click on multi-media controller and click "un-install". Restart the system ad cancel the "found new hardware".Then double-click on the downloaded driver and load the new driver..restart once done. This link will help you to install....Goodluck !!lumberjack76

Hi...try those steps as well...
1)Restart the system and hit F2 to enter the system BIOS, arrow down to "onboard devices" and check if the Onboard sound is "enabled".
2)Check the colume control settings also....
- Click the Start button, point to Programs, point to Accessories, point to Entertainment, and then click Volume Control.
- If there are any checkmarks in the boxes next to Mute, click to deselect the box.
- Increase all volumes to at least 75% on their respective bars if not already set to that level. You can increase the volume by dragging the level indicators up their respective slide bars.
- Click Options, then click Properties.
- Click to select all of the boxes listed under Show the following volume controls, and click the OK button.
- Confirm again that nothing is muted and adjust the volume controls until they are at least 75% up their respective bars.
3)Also check the default playback device...
- Click the Start button and then click Control Panel.
- Click the Sounds, Speech, and Audio Devices icon.
- Click on Sound and Audio Devices.
- Click the Audio tab.
- In the Sound Playback section, verify that the Default Device is set to the correct audio device.
Post back if the issue persists....Goodluck !

They are for the XP operating system.
Almost forgot: If this is a "clean install" of the operating system on a freshly formatted hard drive, you must install the motherboards chipset drivers before other hardware drivers.
