Volume Control not in sys tray. I know it has to do with drivers, but I'm unable to determine
exactly what drivers I need. I've run Belarc and in Multimedia it shows MPU-401.
I've tried several drive sites but not able to find what I need.
It is an onboard audio.

MPU-401 is not your sound device, its a driver

If your 'sound' are not working you first need to determin what your sound
card is

Control Panel>Sounds & Audio>Place Volume icon in task bar

In Control Panel | Sounds and Multimedia, the "Show volume control on
taskbar"
is grayed out. It indicates Checked, but still grayed out.
Using Belarc, it shows Main Board BIOS American Megatrends.

Also in Device Manager, indication is that drivers are not installed for:
Ethernet Controller, Multimedia Audio Controller, PCI Simple Comm
Controller.

Any thoughts on these?

Did you install your mobo chipset drivers?

It's an old board and I don't have the Motherboard CD.
I took a chance that it has SiS chips and downloaded their Audio and Network
drivers and installed them. I now have sound and network access.
Thanks.

Go to the manufacturer's website and download ALL the drivers for your
motherboard, including chipset drivers. Install the chipset drivers first,
the remainder you can install in any order.

As a later poster states, visit the mobo site & download the correct drivers
Chipset, Lan & maybe sound

I spoke a bit too soon. Getting a couple blue screens...
Driver IRQL not less or equal
Kmode Excpetion not handled.

Might need a little steering here on the MB. The Belarc report, under Main
Circuit Board indicates BIOS American Megatrends. I believe the MB to be
a K7-810XLM.

How can I determine the exact MB model. I assume with that model number
I can then find the proper drivers.
