Hi,

I recently reformatted my computer (acer ferrari 1000). I have done this before and am having the same problem as last time. I can only hear system sounds. Last time I think I only installed the driver from the manufacturer (realtek high def), but I cannot remember. I tried installing the driver from the manufacturer with no luck. There is also a yellow question mark next to the sm bus controller, and I have been unable to update the driver for this. It currently says I have no sound device. Any assistance would be GREATLY appreciated! Here is a belarc report of my system:

- I am asking if anyone knows what the problem with my sound might be, which is why the message is long because usually people need all of the details. Here is the main portion of my message as the rest are my computer system stats: Hi, I recently reformatted my computer (acer ferrari 1000). I have done this before and am having the same problem as last time. I can only hear system sounds. Last time I think I only installed the driver from the manufacturer (realtek high def), but I cannot remember. I tried installing the driver from the manufacturer with no luck.
