maiks256 0 Posted February 17, 2006 Hi! Just got a new computer and whaddaya know, no sound. The guy who built it said that all was OK at his place... Reinstalled the drivers, but nothing. Speakers are working, tested them with my mp3 player. The soundcard is integrated into the mb (Asus A8N-SLI, Soundcard is Realtek AC'97) Any suggestions? Share this post Link to post
Sampson 0 Posted February 17, 2006 It is sometimes hard to find the tick that is messing things up. So, you start from the easiest. First, bring up the Volume Control (Start-Programs-Accessories-Entertainment-Volume Control) and make sure Mute is not checked, and all the volumes are turned up. Second, make sure that the external amplifier is working. Third, (and you probably already tried the first two) go into your System Manager Hardware tab and make sure that there is no exclamation point next to your Sound and that it recognizes the proper drivers.

maiks256 0 Posted February 17, 2006 System manager? Did you mean device manager or i don't know what you're talking about... EDIT: I somehow believe that the driver is f***d up, because i get some crashes with a blue screen and it mentions sth about drivers being bad or sth like that... Share this post Link to post
Sampson 0 Posted February 18, 2006 Yes, your device manager. If it is your drivers, you can download the most recent from here: http://www.majorgeeks.com/Realtek_AC97_Drivers_d4400.html You can go into your device manager, and uninstall the sound device. Windows will want to install a new one. You can then run the executible from Windows Explorer that you downloaded earlier and it should provide the drivers for your interface.

maiks256 0 Posted February 21, 2006 It wasn't about the driver afterall... There is a jumper on the mb and it wasn't set correctly Share this post Link to post
