| 108999 | 2002-12-25 19:20:00 | I recently installed a TV Card (Dynalink CPH061), which works very well. However WinMX no longer works, so no CD's can be played and nor does system sounds work. My computer, Althlon 1 gig, 512 m/byte RAM, Chaintech CT-7AJA MB, has a Soundblaster16 card installed. The board came with onboard sound, AC97 with a CMedia 8738 audio chip. I have disabled the onboard sound as I need the Soundblaster 16 sound system to be compatible with my Amateur Radio set up. (It has something to do with the SB16 FFT, Fast Fourier Transform, built into the SB16 card. Control Panel/Sound,Video,Game Controllers show : Brooktree Fusion/Audio Capture Device Brooktree Fusion/Video Capture Device Wave Device for Voice Modem Control Panel/Sounds & Mulitmedia Select Audio tab/ Preferred Device = SB16 Wave In, SB16 Wave Out Oh yeah, and the OS is ME Hmmm, bit beyond me now - must I make a choise between TV working well and/or being able to listen to CD's through WinMX ?? Any and all help appreciated. Best Xmas/New Year wishes to all. |

Ok first check your device manager to ensure that there is no conflicts with your tv card and your SB16. In the sound settings in control panel. change your prefered sound deviced to WDM or directx if it's in there, Give them ago and see if sound works. Also download another media player. Lets say winamp, and see if everything works in there. Do you have an audiocable going from your cd-drive to your SB16? if not, you won't get any sound. If your cd player has a phones socket at the front stick in some headphones and see if you can hear anything. If you can then your cd player is not at fault and its most likely the audio cable that is missing. |

| 109001 | 2002-12-25 23:44:00 | Thanks for reply. You are correct, it should have been MediaPlayer not WinMX. Device manager shows TV card Audio Capture and Video Capture devices only. There is no reference to SB16. There are no conflicts. I think that the fact that SB16 is not included in the list is possibly significant. Could not find and reference to either WDM or directx in Control panel/Sounds etc. However I do know that Directx 7 (I think it is 7) is installed and working. Yes the cable between the CD and SB16 is fitted. I tried another but it made no difference. The headphones and speakers work if I simply put in a music CD and don't start anything else (like Media Player), and the SB16 audio amplifier is working as well. Do you happen to know where I can download WinnAmp from ? Thanks for help Curly |

| 109002 | 2002-12-26 00:03:00 | Well if your SB16 has not appeared in device manager then windows doesn't know that you have a soundcard! Goto add new hardware in control panel and see if it picks it up. It is possible that you unseated the sound card from its slot while installing the capture card. winamp can be downloaded from http://www.winamp.com |

| 109003 | 2002-12-26 00:05:00 | Oh i see that you have onboard sound. so you can't have unseated the soundcard. Possibly disabled it in the bios? Have a look Because your soundcard is onboard yours will probably be refered to as wdm in device manager |
