| 105092 | 2002-12-11 09:07:00 | I have an Aztech PCI 368 soundcard. It used to work perfectly fine in my "old" computer. Then I got a new motherboard, with onboard sound. Under Windows ME (my OS then), the soundcard, whenever playing sound, generated heaps of fuzz instead of actual music or sound. This was despite having the onboard sound turned off in the BIOS. After installing XP, I no longer have the fuzz problem, but just dead silence. I really would like to get my old soundcard working again, but I don't know how. Currently I am using the onboard sound, in which the secondary sound output does not work, so I am left with only 2 speakers as opposed to 4. |

| 105093 | 2002-12-16 09:26:00 | when you got the new motherboard was the os (winME) reinstalled ? or was the old motherboard drivers removed? was XP installed "over the top" or installed 'fresh'? are the motherboard drivers installed? do you have the correct XP drivers for that sound card? |

| 105094 | 2002-12-17 00:29:00 | XP was installed on a brand new 40GB hard drive. The Win ME drive is still in there, and sound doesn't work on it. There is no XP driver for the card, and the latest driver is for NT4.0, as the manufacturer stopped supporting it (or something like that). The NT driver doesn't do much, and ends up giving me four "VLSI Thunderbird 128" devices instead of a game port, sound card, midi controller, and the likes. | agent (30) | ||
