what do you do when you loose sound on a built in ?
Asus A7n8x-x, AMD 3000+ cpu, winxp pro
It was working fine but now under control panel / sounds it reads "no audio" When I looked up device manager it had problems (yellow question marks) with some codecs and midi driver so I uninstalled all of those rebooted and had the system detect any hardware to which it came up with the codecs and midi driver and installed them properly. But I still do not have any audio from the sounds aplet. Any ideas? If its the case where the on board sound is dead would it be worth it to replace the mother board (warrenty) or just get a sound card. I have been wanting to get a new sound system. And if I should replace the MB would the new one "snap" in and run with out having to reload the os? Thanks for all your help!! |

It doesn't appear that your motherboard's sound is dead, merely that the OS was misconfigured or the driver not fully installed. Uninstall the entire driver and use the newest nForce driver at http://www.nvidia.com/content/drivers/drivers.asp You might try installing just the Audio driver offered there but if that doesn't work then install the whole "Platform" driver. |

Thanks. I tried both but I still have nothing. Any ideas of what might've happened previously to cause this? File deletions, another sound card installed/uninstalled, a Windows Service Pack, or changing bios settings? I'm out of ideas except that you could do a repair install of XP. Please don't post binaries (pictures or files) to the newsgroup. |

What does the repair install do just load the os while keeping all settings for previously loaded programs? thanks |

Yes it reloads the OS, meaning you'd also need to redo patches and service packs if applicable. You might also consider looking around web forum, there may be other users with same issue, even a solution. For example there's http://www.amdmb.com/vb/search.php |

Motherboards don't "snap in" you have to rehook up the case wiring which
requires looking at the manual to see where each wire connects. You also have to put the processor in and the fan on top of it and this is tricky because the new fans require you to use a screwdriver placed in a small slot with quite a bit of pressure. And it is always wise to start with a fresh install of the OS. You might try removing the audio drivers and see if Windows will recognize new hardware. This is always the best first try when you lose sound. If you want to get a new soundcard the there is most likely no need to replace the MB.

I meant snap in the light hearted sense, I built this machine.
I've removed all the audio related devices and had windows detect anything and it came up with all the same audio drivers, codecs and ports as before. Yet still no sound. I'll probably just order new sound card / speaker package. Thanks "ProfGene" wrote in message ...
