512 DDR ram
ok so i buy a new sound card (Sound Blaster Live! 24-Bit) today and i
installed it in a pci slot. I turned on the computer and it doesn’t
detect it, even if i go in to my control panel > device manager. I
then try a different slot and it still doesn’t detect it. i then goto
my bios and disable onboard audio AC97 but the sound blaster still
didn’t get detected. I thought my sound card could be broken so I took
this sound card and installed it on to my bro’s computer which is an
AMD Athlon 1.2 ghz Thunder bird and the sound blaster gets detected!
What’s wrong with my computer? Why can’t it be detected? Is it the
mother board?? cause if it is, then wouldn’t ALL pci slots not work?
When i switched the slots for the sound card, i switched it to a slot
where it DID work with my network card was inserted before. I doubt my
mother board is broken physically but i DO think it has to do with my
bios. Help please! I just flashed my bios and it still doesn’t work...
ANOTHER PROBLEM:
I then tried to use the integrated sound card and it has drivers
installed like said in device manager and the control panel but no
sounds are comming out, no matter how many times i reinstalled the
drivers (updated ones too). I plugged in the speakers to all the holes
to see if theres any output, but still there isn’t. WTF is wrong with
my computer and sounds.... gr!
