avance, realtek ac97 - No sound problem
Hello all :-)
I am having megga problems with my avance, realtek ac97 onboard sound chip. Since I did a complete format of my hard drive and reinstalled WinXP I have no sound, whatsoever. I have tried endless web searches to identify the problem to no evail. A friend of mine has helped me with remote assistance and checked everything sound wise in my system which all appear to be okay. My pc is a time amd 64 3000+ Can anyone shed any light on this for me? Gaz. |

Post your mother board full name and revision and I'll try and help. However you would be best served buying a cheap PCI sound card and if you can still get one get an old Creative Labs PCI 128 card.An absolute gem of a card.

Turns out it was my fault. when i installed windows after formatting drive it was recognising my 7 in 1 card reader before my hard drive, because of this my hard drive was named drive i:\. so i had to open the base unit and disconnect, then install windows then reconnect card reader....didnt notice at first but i didnt connect it properly...wasnt sitting on the pins right so for some reason it caused conflict with the sound chip.....all sorted now and thanks again. |

Glad you got there post is still valid.AC97 is pretty crappy.Not a problem unless you play games or do lots od sound stuff. L8R :P I asked my local computer shop dealer this specific question as to how to go on sound. He said the new mobo's have on-board sound about equivalent to mid-range pci soundblaster cards and would be the 'cost effective' way to go. I use a 5.1 computer speaker setup [about $50]...and 'critical' music I listen to on my stereo system (not my computer). In other words, my AC97 onboard sound does nicely for gaming...which is mostly sound effects...things like bangs, booms, crashes, spoken words...not music. And what music there is, it's background...nothing critical. Each to his own, but I still have an old SB 512 card [not the greatest of course], but I think the AC97 sounds better. Nothing 'onboard' is going to match the top level seperate boards of course, but then...does the extra expense justify the 'gains'? That's subjective I suppose. |
