| 24979 | 2001-11-19 23:12:00 | We run a PC Direct 690SE (Pent II/267MHz with Win98). Last week I increased the RAM from the original 32MB to 256MB (just in time !). And now the sound doesn't work ... what has happened ?? I have re-checked all the cables (both inside and outside the PC) and they all look fine and clipped in. The software loads (its a YAMAHA something something built into the motherboard). Any ideas ? Is it a s/w or a h/w problem ? Does it have nothing to do with the RAM incr ?? I'll take out the RAM and put back the 32MB and see if that changes anything. Do I need to change a BIOS seting ????? Any thoughts, help appreciated. Gary |

Did you use an antistatic strap and kep the computer plugged in but switched off while installing? One small static discharge could have fried your sound. To find out if the audo side is working, plug someting into the mic socket & see if you can get sound from your speakers. I assume they are still connected??? Billy 8-{) |

| 24981 | 2001-11-20 01:42:00 | I wondered that (about zapping accidentally). I had an antistatic strap and kept it plugged in whilst off. How do I plug something into the mic socket ?? I tried a CD and it spins and plays but no sound. Are sound problems easy to fix ?? Mine is part of the motherboard itself. Thanks for your reply- I appreciate it | Guest (0) | ||
