AC'97 codec on my ct5880 onboard soundcard
What is the AC'97 codec. ????
I have to run this q'ion by you , cuz I am stumped. Usually I have no problem with drivers, but I cannot for the life of me, get my onboard sound on another machine, to work. (it was ok before format,and I have 2 diff cd devices to test for sound) the owners manual for the mB is at: http://europe.giga-byte.com/MotherBo...mmh_e_2001.pdf And states that is has an On-Board Sound Creative CT5880 sound and mentions AC'97 CODEC (what is this ac97 codec? ... I looked and got the impression that it is an extra driver I need on my system, before, (i think) i install my sound driver of ct5800 which I have had no trouble of trackin down from several web sites. but when it is installed, ..... NO sound at all comin from my onboard sound. Even tried playing from both cdrom's and directly from hdrive, but nothing. 1) what is this AC97, ... it does not apparently come with just the ct5800 driver, so...?? 2) I already confirmed that my bios onboard ac'97 sound is ENABLED, (which it has always been), and that the jumpers on this board have not changed, Any Sujj. P.s. the board is an via k7 ga7zmmh the drivers I am using for this is from the main homepage of http://www.giga-byte.com/Motherboard...r_GA-7ZMMH.htm so... Help!! .... Pease!!!! |

What is the AC'97 codec. ???? A bit of a misnomer, as AC'97 stands for Audio Codec '97 (meaning 1997, as a matter of fact). It's a standardized way across manufacturers to create sound. Usually the sound is more or less entirely driven by the CPU and uses cheap D/As and filters, and thus not ideal from either a performance or quality standpoint. Think of it as Joe Average sound. At best. |
