Lost Sound

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.hardware (More info?)

I have just upgraded to XP with SP2 and like many before me I have lost
sound. I have been using the onboard C-Media AC97 chip without problems with
98SE.
I have also tried an SC3000 PCI soundcard in various slots both using the
original drivers sent with the card and the motherboard and also by
downloading the latest from the appropriate manufactures sites.I've even
tried disabling the onboard in the BIOS and flashed the BIOS to the latest
vesion. All to no avail. Does anyone out there know the solution?
Thanks in anticipation.

Hello


Well Since upgrading to XP did you remove the win98 drivers
fromyou system, and then install the Xp drivers, sounds like you maybe
some or corrupted drivers. I would remove all drivers, reboot and
then let Xp try to find the correct drivers for your sound card

Perhaps you need a different version of your mixer software. Where did you
get the device drivers from? If they are the latest XP drivers from the
hardware manufacturer, they're the right ones.

My on-board sound chip shows in Device Mgr as CMI8738 (Asus m/b) but in
BIOS, only reference is AC97.

I ran into mixer problem (no mic support) so after months of trying various
drivers (and neither CMedia nor Asus gave any help solving this, and
unfortunately no-one in this ng was able to assist at the time). So, I
disabled AC97 (both instances) in BIOS, installed a new sound card/drivers.
BUT - CMI8738 still came up in Device Manager. Uninstalling made no
difference - picked up as new hardware, auto-installed..

Solution - DISABLE IN THIS CONFIGURATION. This works, CMI8738 is disabled,
new soundcard works just fine. My prob doesn't exactly match yours, but is
similar, so my solution may also work for you.

Hope this helps. Len
