When I boot up my computer, a 'Found New Hardware Wizard' window appeared.It says 'This wizard will help you install for: Mutimedia Audio Controller". I didn't see the volume control icon in the tray. mixer decBut I didn't remember I installed any new hardware.So I cancelled it. I opened the 'Volume Control' menu in the start menu, but it said"There are no active mixer devices available. To install mixer devices, go to Control Panel, click Printers and Other Hardware, and then click Add Hardware.This program will now close".Please help me to solve this problem. I never had this problem before.Thanks.

Reboot your computer and allow it to install the so called new hardware which most likely it will be unable to do.

The most likely thing that has happened here is that the latest round of patches has disabled the hardware or at least its drivers. If this is the case you'll need to download the latest drivers for your sound card and install these this should cure your problem.

Go to device manager and see whether your sound card or multimedia audio controller is detected.If you see the yellow ? that means the device is detected but the driver is not installed. So, install the correct driver for that device. That would solve your problem.
