Multimedia Controller and Multimedia Video Controller problem

Thanks for getting back, Nemanja. Since only Windows 7 driver is available, you can still try installing those drivers in compatibility mode. Please download the Windows 7 drivers for your
Multimedia Controller and Multimedia Video Controller, save it to your desktop, and install it in compatibility mode.

To install it, follow these steps:

• Right-click the driver file, click Troubleshoot compatibility.
• Click Troubleshoot program.
• Check the box that says The program worked in earlier versions of Windows but won't install or run now, then hit
  Next.
• Click on Windows 7, then hit Next.
• Click Test the program.
• If you're asked for a permission to install and allow the driver manufacturer to make changes to your PC, just allow it so the drivers will be installed.

Once installed, try checking your Device Manager and check if both multimedia controllers no longer appear under Other devices.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Regards.

 

Multimedia Controller and Multimedia Video Controller problem

Thanks for providing the screenshots, Nemanja. As what the device status, states, there are no drivers installed for the device so you need to manually search and download the driver for your multimedia controllers. To do that, the device's Hardware ID should
be obtained first. Follow these steps:

• In Device Manager > Other devices, right-click the Multimedia Controller, then click
  Properties.
• Click the Details tab.
• Under Property, look for and select Hardware ids.
• Copy the first item under Value. It serves as the Hardware ID.
  
• Search for the device driver online using the Hardware ID and save it on your PC.
• Do the same for the Multimedia Video Controller.

Once the drivers are saved, you may now go ahead and install or manually update the drivers for your Multimedia Controllers.

Let us know if you need further help.

Regards.

 

"Realtek 97 Audio" had been replaced by "Multimedia Audio Controller"

Hi,

I just upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10 on an Acer 3003 Laptop, everything is working great except the Audio.

On investigation I found that the "Realtek 97 Audio" had been replaced by "Multimedia Audio Controller" which had no drivers installed. When I tried to obtain a driver Windows 10 just kept installing a Realtek 97 Driver (RTKZAC SYS) which immediately caused
my computer to crash and go into a loop restart. I eventually managed to get into Safe Mode and disable the "Multimedia Audio Controller" then delete the (RTKZAC SYS) driver from "System 32 Drivers Folder". Which allowed my computer to start up normally.

Is there any way of sorting this problem, a driver for the Multimedia Audio Controller or restoring the Realtek 97 Audio?
