Hi I have installed WIN98 and LINUX on a new PC that used to have WinXP (I had to get rid of it because most of my applications were not compatible with it). The smart Red Hat Linux had no problem recognizing my integrated audio device (SounMax from Digital Labs) while my Win98 (second edition) does not find any drivers for it!
Anybody has any idea of how to solve this problem? Are there drivers out there for an integrated sound card?
thank you
Giovanni

Do you still have the CD come with the motherboard? It should have onboard audio driver for Win 98.

read the manual, there may be a jumper setting to have the sound come out the back of the mother board instead of some front connection option. same thing happend to me with the msi nforce.

Hi I did play around with the BIOS audio settings unti finally Windows detected the right drivers for my Integrated SoundMax soundcard. As a matter of fact I do hear some switching up noise from the speakers when Windows starts up. However when I look at the Multimedia menu (under Control Panel) I do not find any playback device installed and I cannot select any either. While under device manager I do see the Soundmax integrated digital audio installed, and telling me it's working "properly".
Any ideas of what the problem might be?
thank you very much
Giovanni

If I change a jumper..then the compute won't work in win XP.

I need the sound to work in both settings. Win XP and
Win 98

I am using partion Magic 7.0
