Help, soundcard problem.

[P3rg3]

Hai.

 

So, I've been having some issues with my computer. A problem with the sound, that is.

It's been a problem before, but it's back. Whoop-dee-fucking-do.

 

The PC that I'm talking about in this thread is:

 

• Asus P1-P5945G
  
• Intel 82801GB ICH7 - High Definition Audio Controller [A-1] (Shown in Everest)
  
• Analog Devices AD1988B (SoundMax)
  

 

I guess that's all the information I can find, sound related.

Windows 7 is the OS.

And no, that is not the problem, I had the same issue before on XP. I don't remember how I solved it though.

 

Anyway, there must be a driver out there that will fix my problem.

I've tried many, none worked so far.

I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction.

Any help is appreciated.

 

Yours sincerely,

 

me.

Get a new sound card

You build this yourself or a premade machine?

 

If it's premade find the manufacturer and they should have support for drivers etc.

[Wrathek]

if you have a driver installed, and its the most up to date, i doubt its the issue.

 

do you have the chipset drivers installed?

It's premade, and it's a barebone pc.

And yes, I tried that. Here.

Yes, sir.

Chipset driver installed from the Asus website.

 

The big problem is that no soundcard driver seems to work.

got warranty on that mobo?

Nope.

But I don't think it's broken though.

uninstall the driver completely from the system. reboot your pc, if it detects the soundcard and asks for drivers install them and go. if it will not detect the soundcard you may have an irq issue. which if you look under (right click my computer, properties, then the hardware tab, then to device manager) and see an exclamation point and a yellow caution sign is usually the case. you can fix it in there by either reinstalling the driver or redefining the irq it uses.

I tried that.

It installs the drivers as soon as the pc is booted.

But that doesn't work either, even though it says that it's ready for use.

have you checked to see if the card is muting itself, or has the irq issue? if the drivers load but there is an issue device manager will tell you.
