I have a M6VCG Biostar motherboard with onboard sound (VIA audio controller)
recently the SOUND failed - I could get no sound at all - tried all
combinations of fix including advice received here - with no luck at all.
So I just tried to install a SoundBlasterlive card but could not get that
working either, although it seemed to be installed ok with device reported
as working properly. CD audio was ok through this card but nothing else
worked.
someone advised me to disable the onboard soundchip in the bios setup -
could not see how to do this, as setup says "onchip sound = auto" with no
option seeming to be available other than auto.
anyway after a while I took the sblive card back out, rebooted, then, lo and
behold, the on board sound started working again in all respects. However
this joy was shortlived because it has since completely failed again.
I was wondering if anybody had any ideas about :-
1. the onboard sound problem
2. how to get sblive card working alongside
Many thanks
