just want to let ya know (esp. Bookworm :-) ) that when i replaced my harddrive, and thus lost my sound, and my original/oem HP disk/drivers didnt work, i took the alpha/numerics off my sound card, did a google-search ( Ensoniq search didnt help because its CT now, and my card is outdated ) and found this in another forum :
"stevec50February 17th, 2003, 08:51 AM / He could also switch to a sound card with built-in amplifiers if they are powerful enough to drive the speakers. Creative makes an ES1371 Ensoniq card (Audio PCI 5100) with built-in amp that puts out 20 watts per channel."
Well, after running BELARC and finding out that indeed i have a Creative/Ensoniq/Soundblaster, and retrieving the cross-reference above, i was able to download an AWESOME driver from driverguide, that actually had its own install-wizard! So, after 3 months of "hit and miss" with no sound, i am BACK IN BIZ today!!
sure wish i would've found you guys sooner~
and BOOKWORM, you are a Godsend; a WEALTH of valuable information that many people PAY to obtain~!!!
