With regards to problems created by re-installing operating system I am now experiencing problems with sound. Have looked on Everest Home and found that multimedia device is Intel 82801AA I/O Controller Hub - AC'97 Audio Adapter PCI. Can anyone help me to find the drivers for this or point me in the right direction on getting sound back.

This one should do the trick.
