Question : Dell Inspiron 1012 - Multimedia Controller Driver

Hi

I just bought a Dell Inpiron 1012 Mini, It came with Windows 7 Starter, so I upgraded it to Windows 7 Home Premium, as the original installation came with a lot of unnecesary software I performed a clean installation an now the laptop runs perfectly. Nonetheless in the Control Panel>System>Device Manager I still have a 'Multimedia Controller' as an unknown device, I've tried all drivers that came in the original CD of Drivers and most of the ones that you can download from the Dell website, any idea what's this Multimedia Controller and where can I get the driver for it?

Thank you.

try this to identify the devices :

Start>Programs>Accessories>System Tools>System Information.
Now select  "Components" and highlight "Problem Devices".
All hardware devices with a driver problem will be listed here.
Make a note of the first line of the PNP Device ID line of the entry. It will show a Vendor number and a Device number (VENxxxxDEVxxxx) both four digits long.
Look up those numbers here:   http://www.pcidatabase.com/index.php

This will tell you the manufacturer and the chip number.  Check the dell's website first
