| 1130967 | 2010-08-24 11:37:00 | Try running SIW (www.snapfiles.com) - go to motherboard - it may give the actual make and model of the board. Cant resist --- Sorry Mate -- "Acer EML" = Acer Email :) |

| 1130968 | 2010-08-24 11:53:00 | Its a guess - but try These Drivers (www.msi.com), they are from MSI, most Acers I have seen use the MSI Boards & its a SIS chipset. Not all Realtek 97 Drivers are the same, some models are a PITA to find. | wainuitech (129) | ||
| 1130969 | 2010-08-24 12:00:00 | have tried installing all sorts of drivers but to no avail sounds like the board is faulty which is a shame, will give a reinstall ago and see if that changes things, thanks for all of your help everyone. | smithinator (15240) | ||

It's more likely to be that you haven't found the right driver yet, considering your 2nd sound card didn't work either. I would advise on the use of Everest to find out the board model. Write down exactly what Everest says (screenshot even) and post it here. |

| 1130971 | 2010-08-24 22:04:00 | One other thing that will cause the audio not to work -- have you got the front audio plugged in correctly, if incorrectly wired, it will cause problems.Wiring layout (www.imagef1.net.nz) - Newer motherboards have a single multi plug so you cant get it wrong, older boards will have all the plugs separate. | wainuitech (129) | ||
| 1130972 | 2010-08-24 22:06:00 | Front audio isnt connected (I asked about that last night). Since its not the original case. It'll probably be harder to connect it (depending on what connections, the old case had) | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||

It'll probably be harder to connect it (depending on what connections, the old case had) Awhhhhh -- So not the original case -- it may be then its NOT the motherboard that is actually in the Acer T310. So all the audio and some other drivers could be wrong. Also if the front audio isn't connected then the Audio connector may need to be jumpered - Older boards came with the Audio Jumpered, then the jumpers removed when the front connectors are attached. If so then pins 5+6 and 9+10 need jumpers. IF they originally had front audio, and its not connected, the original will have had the loop back. No Loop Back can mean no Audio. Need to find out what the actual Motherboard is. |

| 1130974 | 2010-08-24 22:30:00 | Thats what I said (about the jumpers). Smith is going to format it anyway, and start again. Told him/her not to use windowsupdate or drivermax to get the drivers. Just to install the OS , then the chipset etc. Then we'll see what it says under hw id's. And told Smith to copy the realtek drivers (that I downloaded from the site). Then reinstall them after the chipset drivers have been installed. Speccy brought up Acer EML as the mobo |

| 1130975 | 2010-08-25 00:03:00 | I still reckon you should try Everest. | Agent_24 (57) | ||
| 1130976 | 2010-08-25 00:29:00 | There are several programs mentioned that can tell a person what the actual motherboard is. Even actually looking to see what the board is would be a help-- BUT this information is not exactly fast in being made available. I've got a Older board in the workshop - without the jumpers on the front Audio header, you wont get any sound anywhere, esp if the front audio is not connected to the case. |
