| 230409 | 2004-04-19 03:36:00 | Hi Folks! I recently upgraded to an Asus A7A266 motherboard running an Athlon 1.4Ghz processor under Win ME. But it's silent. There is onboard sound but I don't know enough to either enable the sound or disable it so I can put in a sound card. I've tried the speakers in all the plug-in slots with no noise resulting. Does anyone know how to enable the sound on this motherboard? I don't know if this is a related problem but Windows Media Player is also misbehaving. I ask it to play a track and it spends hours "opening" it without succeeding. Any help much appreciated, thanx! Joe Davies |

Type in the manufacturer of it into google, download some new sound drivers and install them. :) Keep those drivers handy on a cd in case you need to reinstall windows one day. The drivers are probably on a cd that cam with your motherboard. WindowsME doesn't have a very large database of drivers for onboard audio. After doing all that and it still doesn't work, you may have to enable onboard audio in the BIOS, or a jumper setting on the motherboard. Pray it doesn't come to that :p |

| 230411 | 2004-04-19 05:16:00 | hmmmmm....My guess seeing that you have no drivers for the audio is that you have no drivers loaded for your motherboard at all,so you can expect bad perfomance and glitches. Your only course of action is to visit the manufacters web site,find the exact model board you have and download all the available drivers. Using google to find intergrated audio drivers or chipset drivers is a bad idea im afraid. |
