| 532865 | 2007-03-14 06:29:00 | Seems the integrated audio on my motherboard has packed up! I was playing Day of Defeat: Source, and the audio started to go "scratchy". I thought the speakers had packed up, so I changed to headphones, same result. I changed to the front audio socket, same result. Then the audio stopped completely. I un-installed and tried to re-install the audio drivers (they are the latest drivers), but an error message came up saying "VIA Ac97 Audio Chipset is not enabled on this system ! Please enable it first on the BIOS then run this setup again". Yes it actually says "on the bios". I restarted and checked the BIOS, and it is enabled. Any ideas? |

| 532866 | 2007-03-14 08:00:00 | Um, this may sound silly, If your using a USB joystick, disconnect it first then try reinstalling your the drivers for the chipset. You might try uninstalling the joystick. See, I told you it sounds funny... But I've seen the problem before. The scratch sound was caused by the driver for the joystick (or so it seemed) and a reinstall of that driver fixed it. Good luck, and sorry if this didn't help. Porkster |

| 532868 | 2007-03-15 08:42:00 | I uninstalled the wireless desktop set....and sound worked again. How stupid! | pine-o-cleen (2955) | ||
