NO Sound problem

[tigerboyce]

First of all, there is no yellow flag on anything in there see:


I tried it anyway and niether of the files worked as it sayed there were no better updates or something along those lines..


Do you think i need to uninstall something from the above list first?

or would a cheap £15 sound card be a solution as i wouldnt really mind paying that if it would work, or does the soundcard need this onboard chip to be working in order for the soundcard to work?

In other posts i have also read about turning the sound on in BIOS could someone tell me how to do this as this is about the only thing i havent tried yet, that and the chipset thing

Go here to Intel No:4 chipset driver
http://downloadcenter.intel.com/filt...4&submit=Go%21
check Device Manager as this driver resolves a lot of problems.

Step 7 explains how to check audio in the BIOS

Set a System Restore Point before installing drivers just in case

sure i dont need to uninstall as it wil not work


Thanks for all the suggestions but i have tried everything under the sun and just cannot get it working.

As a solution would a soundcard work, OR would the soundcard need these drivers to make it run...

if not would something like this do:

or a bit more upmarket:

I suspect that AC'97 audio is not enabled in the BIOS, it is common to SiS boards, are you familiar with the BIOS or not, let me know

Go to Gateway / under Motherboard install the AMD cpu ( it's the chipset )Restart your comp then install audio again

Oh, yeah, i have already done that, my bad, should have mentioned that before, though not to worry, i got my sound working thanks to this site, http://infamous.wordpress.com/2006/0...k-you-gateway/, still cant get the SM bus controller, if you have any suggestions, it would be greatly appreciated.

Ok yep you were right. were getting somewhere now i think.

SIS realtek audio '97 was disabled and i enabled it and then rebooted.

It came up with the usual bubble saying realtek audio '97 found and then i think installed it/started installing it.

But then the PC just randomly rebooted/shutdown i cant remember which but i think restart. I thought it must be installed only that it kept repeating this for 5 times. after that i just disabled it again so i could actually use the computer to type this for help.

any ideas?

Going to look at the manual, it's supposed to have a Soundmax driver, look at this are your audio plugs on the I/O plate ( he's pointing to it )

Can you use this from SiS to see what drivers you have from SiS and to get updates, need the chipset driver, accept the ActiveX, it's safe
