| 354915 | 2005-05-14 05:36:00 | Try downloading the sound driver from realtek (www.realtek.com.tw) I assume you can boot to safe mode. |

| 354917 | 2005-08-05 06:13:00 | I got the same problem with Intel 865PE chipset mainboard,i have fixed this up, just download the wdm_3620 file and update your sound card SoundMAX file, that's all, the problem is not with XP SP2,is your sound chip controller. SEE YA~ |

| 354918 | 2005-08-05 06:33:00 | What IRQs is your system using? List them all here, with which device is using that IRQ. Can you manually set the IRQ of the sound device to an unused IRQ (like IRQ 5 which is normally reserved for LPT2) Forget flashing the BIOS, it won't do sh*t. You don't have a BIOS issue, you have an IRQ conflict |

| 354919 | 2005-08-17 14:09:00 | I had the EXACT same problem as you. Same box, eMachines T3958, same scenario - I put on Win XP pro and wiped everything else off. I extracted the name of the exact chipset out of eMachines and went to the Intel site and found by looking at the BIOS # that it is not a 'standard' Intel bios. It was tweaked for eMachines which is reflected in the non-standard BIOS # which means you can't upgrade the BIOS from the INTEL site. My fix to this whole mess was to disable the audio in the BIOS and then installed a Creative Labs SoundBlaster Live! 7.1 card (29.00 at Wal Mart). This took all of 10 minutes. The 29.00 was well spent because I spent too much of my valuable time trying to chase down a driver solution. eMachines was no help. Their montra was "please be advised that eMachines cannot recommend any 3rd party upgrades". Eventhough on the page for Support for the T3958 they "recommend XP Professional" AND on their page for extra parts (the sound card - which was 39.00 through them) they say it is compatable with the T series. |
