| 650616 | 2008-03-18 21:13:00 | I got this sound card, it installs fine, but sound levels are very very low if I plug a CD drive into the internal CD connector and press play on the drive, volume is normal level If I connect something to line in, volume is normal level Both levels adjust normally via software too... No doubt mic would probably be the same But if I play anything with software in windows, it's so low you can barely hear it. :illogical I've got all sliders enabled and everything at 100%. |

| 650617 | 2008-03-18 22:53:00 | Ok, so I loaded ubuntu live and it detects it as a ForteMedia FM801AS and it works perfectly... Bad drivers for windows I guess? |

| 650618 | 2008-03-18 23:40:00 | Wrong drivers perhaps? Take a look exactly what make and model is written on the card and get the right drivers for it. | pctek (84) | ||
| 650619 | 2008-03-19 00:01:00 | Well that's what I thought, but the card has on it this: XG logo (www.yamaha.com) A411-G70 (model number) FCC ID is LWHA411G7 Main Chip: XWAVE QS3000A 9940 Sigmatel Codec: STAC9700T LA2L32 9944 rear side of board is "99CG70500170" which is probably just serial number as it's accompanied by barcode as well I downloaded the correct XP drivers from driverguide.com (labway doesn't exist anymore) - and web.archive.org confirmed this to be the driver released by them The driver installs, works, but with wave output only at very low volume |

| 650620 | 2008-03-19 01:46:00 | Tried FM801 drivers with no success: "device cannot start" (surprise, surprise) | Agent_24 (57) | ||
| 650621 | 2008-03-19 03:43:00 | Hmm. www.google.co.nz WinDrivers Company Forums - I need a bloody driver for this crap ... I have a PCI Xwave soundcard with chipset: XWAVE QS3000a 9849 and FCC ID: LWHA411G7 . I run Win98. I would just like for this piece of **** to do what it's ... forums.windrivers.com/vb/showthread.php?p=24534&mode=threaded - 67k - Says it all really. Can't you get a better card? |

| 650622 | 2008-03-19 05:03:00 | Well I took the card out to check the numbers again just in case I had misread something - and then I noticed this little jumper block in the middle of the board - to enable or disable the onboard amplifier chip Well I'm sure you can guess which it was set to... :blush: So now it works fine :o ... BUT how did it work in Ubuntu, Linux is good but being able to change jumpers by itself? I doubt it.... Oh well, it works, probably shouldn't worry about it :thumbs: |
