hello

you told me in an other tread that i had to check my bios to see if onboard sound was enable

i checked but i cant find that feature
can you tell me where it is

maybe i'm a little blind or something cause my eyes cant find that damn feature

pls help me, cause i'm getting pretty sick of playing without sound

[OUTLAWS The Machine]

I will have to look when I get home tonight. I'm at a friends house tonight. Did you check the other things? What does it say in your control panel?

[TheUltimateWarrior]

well i checked , system, hardware, yada yada some other stuff but it said my sound worked normally, but it doesnt

and the wires are all connected right

so i'm hoping its disabled in the bios

how long before you get home??

cause its 23.36 pm here

i will be up for a few hours, otherwise i will read it in the morning

[OUTLAWS The Machine]

Not sure what time i will be home. Just check back in the morning. I would not think it is a setting in your bios because those setting just don't change by themselves. I will post back later.

[TheUltimateWarrior]

ok
i'll check tomorrow morning
thnx

[OUTLAWS The Machine]

OK. In bios (yours may vary a little)

My onboard audio is under Integrated Peripherals - VIA OnChip PCI Device- VIA AC 97 Audio. Make sure it is set to enabled.

[TheUltimateWarrior]

thnx!!
i'll try it in the morning
cause i'm getting tired now and tomorrow its a schoolday
its 23.31 pm now

[OUTLAWS The Machine]

Let me know. we will get this fixed.

[TheUltimateWarrior]

i checked for Integrated Peripherals - VIA OnChip PCI Device- VIA AC 97 Audio

wasnt there

but what was there was AC97 Audio and it was set on Auto

so thats not the problem i guess

[OUTLAWS The Machine]

That is not the problem then. What does it say in your control panel?

[OUTLAWS The Machine]

Do you know what motherboard you have? Have you reinstalled the sound drivers?

[TheUltimateWarrior]

i never installed sounddrivers for my onboard soundcart

my motherbord is Intel 1815-47B27X
thats my crappy motherbord

i checked in my control panel before
and i cant see anything wrong, looks like is works normaly!

and why should i install new drivers? I just changed ps. and it worked before that!

[OUTLAWS The Machine]

What does it say in your control panel where I told you to look?

Also, right click on "my computer" and select properties. Then go to device manager. In there you should see your sound controller. click on the plus sign next to it and tell me what is listed.

[TheUltimateWarrior]

you mean this..........

[TheUltimateWarrior]

it al seems to look just fine.......................... :? :x

[OUTLAWS The Machine]

You are plugged into the right jack?

Do you know what motherboard you have?

[OUTLAWS The Machine]

Is the little speaker icon in your tray next to your clock?

[TheUltimateWarrior]

No th elittle speaker thing is nog next to m y clock, but i checked that and everything is normal

I posted my motherbord a few min ago

[TheUltimateWarrior]

[quote="TheUltimateWarrior"]i never installed sounddrivers for my onboard soundcart

my motherbord is Intel 1815-47B27X
thats my crappy motherbord



u see

[TheUltimateWarrior]

and yes i'm sure i'm plugged in right!!

[OUTLAWS The Machine]

If your speaker is not there than something is wrong. Do you have the sound drivers for your motherboard? If so you need to reinstall them.

[Nobody]

What OS are you running ?

[TheUltimateWarrior]

i never installed drivers for soundcart so i dont have them

and i'm running windows Xp pro

[OUTLAWS The Machine]

What did it say in the control panel as your default sound device?

[Nobody]

To get speaker !! In control panel.

[TheUltimateWarrior]

where can i see that??

[OUTLAWS The Machine]

Make sure it's not muted also. After you get your speaker icon open it up and make sure nothing is muted.

[TheUltimateWarrior]

yeah i checked there

wait i post an screenie

[TheUltimateWarrior]

here it is

[OUTLAWS The Machine]

Select that second box and it should put the speaker Icon in your tray. Also click on the audio tab and tell me what the default device is.

[Nobody]

Are you sure your speakers are good ?

[TheUltimateWarrior]

i wasnt sure that my speakers were good, so i connected my headphones

but they dont work either!

and ok i will machien and i'll post another screenie of that

1 min

[TheUltimateWarrior]

ok here it is

[TheUltimateWarrior]

opps wrong one

here it is

damn size limit too big

1 min again

[TheUltimateWarrior]

ok finally............

[OUTLAWS The Machine]

How about that default device I keep asking you to check?

[TheUltimateWarrior]

yeah and i asked you how to get to that

[OUTLAWS The Machine]

Dude, you might have to break down and spend $20 and get a cheap sound card.

[OUTLAWS The Machine]

When you went into the control panel and opened up the sounds, there should be a tab labled audio.

[OUTLAWS The Machine]

I got to go. I'll check back later.

[TheUltimateWarrior]

you mean this??

[TheUltimateWarrior]

ok

thnx for your help!!!!!!!!
u2 nobody!!!!!!!!!!

[OUTLAWS The Machine]

What the hell is Microsoft Sam? If you click on the drop down check mark to the right of it are there any more options?

[Nobody]

That doesn't look right.

[Nobody]

Mine looks like this. Do like Machine and click the down arrow and see if something else is there.

[TheUltimateWarrior]

nope
only microsoft sam

i play too much sam, windows is trying to like like it :P

[TheUltimateWarrior]

you wanted this!!

[Nobody]

Yeah !! Everythimg looks right though. The only other thing I can think of to try is to reload the drivers. Do you know the name brand of your motherboard ? I did a search for Intel I815-47B27X but can't seem to find anything. Is it a Chaintech, Asus , Epox ?

[TheUltimateWarrior]

i think its a intell mainbord

[Nobody]

I searched Intel and found nothing.

[TheUltimateWarrior]

i couldnt find anything too

this is a sign of how crappy my mainbord is........

[Nobody]

LOL !!! Look at the board and see if anything is on it.

[TheUltimateWarrior]

i will later in about an hour

i'm installing ut2003 and watching dragonball :):)

so check again in an hour

[OUTLAWS The Machine]

Dude. You shoulb be hearing sound. Are your speakers powerered? I'm running out of things to check.

[TheUltimateWarrior]

i know i was going crazy, i checked everything i could think about, NOTHING WORKED

yeah theres power on my speaker, the subwoover has a lifgt burning, so thats a pretty good sign
and i connected my headphones to my computer, just in case

[Sacrifice]

im confused im not good with computers

[TheUltimateWarrior]

me neither thats why machine was helping me out

[Sacrifice]

cool

[OUTLAWS The Machine]

What color is the jack that you are plugging it into?

[TheUltimateWarrior]

its green

[Nobody]

I don't see what the problem could be other than maybe your speakers or drivers. If you had somehow fried the onboard sound windows would not detect it. When you said you plugged in headphones did you plug them into the speaker jack on the back of the computer ? Other than that I would remove the sound device from windows device manager and reboot to let it re-detect it.

[TheUltimateWarrior]

i plugged out my speakers and plugged in my headphones
to see if my speakers broke

[Nobody]

OK !! We are just trying to make sure we cover everything. I would try the remove and redetect deal I stated above. If you need me to explain how just post again.

[TheUltimateWarrior]

ok pls explaine

i'm a bit of a computer dummy!

[TheUltimateWarrior]

maybe i should reinstal windows????
but i have to look for the cd

[Nobody]

It's really easy. I would not reinstall windows just removing and redetecting the device should do it if it is going to work at all. Go into device manager where it lists all your devices. You put a picture on the first page of this thread. Highlight the AC97 device and right-click on it and pick uninstall. That should remove most of the things listed under sound. Reboot your computer and it should redetect everything and install the drivers. You may need the XP cd but I doubt it.

[OUTLAWS The Machine]

If you reinstall XP you will lose everything. Unlike Win98 where you could reinstall over top and keep all your settings. You could delete it out of the device manager and WindowsXP should recognize it as new hardware and reload the drivers.

You know sound cards are pretty cheap.

[OUTLAWS The Machine]

LOL> Nob beat me to it.

[Nobody]

LOL !! We posted at the same time :D

[Nobody]

If that doesn't work I give up. :lol: Go buy a sound card.

[TheUltimateWarrior]

ok i will try it
i know soundcarts are pretty cheap, but i rather fix this now if it wont work i will make some backups and try reinstalling windows

after soundcart, but first i'll try deleting thats tuff

THNX GUYS!!

[TheUltimateWarrior]

i uninstalled that crap
and rebooted my crappy computer
it detected nieuw hardware, but after that the sign disappeerd, i dont know if it reinstalled the drivers, but in my device manager everything seems back to normal

and still no freakin sound!!!

when i start winamp and select a song it wont play, when i put it in half of the song and put play, it goes back to the beginning, when i shut winamp down it doesnt respond anymore

maybe this helps u, maybe not, i probably have to buy a soundcard, and i cant reinstal windows cause i seem to lost the cd

but anyway Thank both of you guys!!1


you helped me alot and i really appreciate that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ThnQ very much

[OUTLAWS The Machine]

Damn, I'd rather spend a few bucks that to reinstall WindowsXP. LOL

Delete out of the device manager and reboot.

[TheUltimateWarrior]

i did

[OUTLAWS The Machine]

What did it do?

[TheUltimateWarrior]

well it detected nieuw hardware
and that was it!

[OUTLAWS The Machine]

Did it reapear in the device manager and still does not work?

[TheUltimateWarrior]

i ckecked device manager again and everything was back the way it was

windows still sais: Audio is working fine

but it doesnt!

[TheUltimateWarrior]

Ok i'm know it i just need a freakin new computer

my intel celeron 733 is toooooooooo ****ed up

[Nobody]

It seems to be working if it detected new harware. I don't get it !!! Do you have a friend close by that has a sound card in his/her computer you can borrow just to test if it works ?

[OUTLAWS The Machine]

What color jack do you have it plugged into? Does any sounds at all come through the speakers? Like Windows sounds?

[TheUltimateWarrior]

no nada

and green

[TheUltimateWarrior]

i'll be back in 30 min or something

i'm gonna open the case,so sorry if i reply late

[TheUltimateWarrior]

good idea nobody !!
chan and jacobs both live 5 min from my house and the both have a soundcart its 23.23 now so i'll ask the tomorrow!!

[OUTLAWS The Machine]

Maybe when you put your motherboard in, one of the screws is touching the motherboard. Did youi make sure that all the metal standoffs that the screws go through the motherboard into are lined up with a hole and that you don't have any extra standoffs that cound be touching the motherboard. Does that make any sence?

[Nobody]

Don't forget to disable the onboard sound before you put the card in.

[TheUltimateWarrior]

ok i disconnected en reconnected some stuff and now high noises are coming out of my speakers
its driving me crazy!!

WTF is this??

[Nobody]

What did you do ?

[OUTLAWS The Machine]

What did you disconnect and reconnect? I think that your motherboard is shorted to the case somewhere.

[TheUltimateWarrior]

those green smal things, i toke those of and put them back on
and there are a few small wires disconnected, for the reset button, and small lights and 1 sais speakers, but i think its the speaker for my case and that what a friend told me too, so i was pretty sure

i just planted those small wires on my mainbord, light dont work, reset button neither and high noices out of my speakers!

[OUTLAWS The Machine]

The case wires that you messed with should not have make any noise come out of your main speakers. I would take your motherboard out and make sure there are no extra metal standoffs underneith your mobo. And then put it back in.

[OUTLAWS The Machine]

What small green things?

[TheUltimateWarrior]

well there are a few small green things that or spread across my mainbord

they are all 2 pinns thick

dunno what they are for :?:

[Nobody]

I think he means jumpers :shock: I hope you put them back like they were.

[OUTLAWS The Machine]

Are they jumpers that short 2 pis together? If so that could be the problem. One of them might be to enable/disable onboard audio.

[TheUltimateWarrior]

yeah i did
i hope :?

[TheUltimateWarrior]

yeah machine that were those small green things!

[OUTLAWS The Machine]

Are any of them labled?

[TheUltimateWarrior]

nope

[OUTLAWS The Machine]

Damn. LOL.

I assume you have no manual huh? You ever see if there was a model number on your board?

[TheUltimateWarrior]

well i have sisoft sandra and that program tells me my mainbord model is :

i815-47B27X

[OUTLAWS The Machine]

That might be the chipset info. Is there any markings on your board?

[TheUltimateWarrior]

brb have to open the case again
now i'll leave it open till tomorrow :fist:

[TheUltimateWarrior]

i c a few numbers

CT-6OIV2

[TheUltimateWarrior]

6OIV2-E100A
FR9C11-1 V3.0

this was on a sticker in the middle of the bord

[OUTLAWS The Machine]

That's it. Hold on a sec and I'll see if I can get a pic of it.

[OUTLAWS The Machine]

That first number appears to be the model number but I can not find any info on it. Intel wants me to register or something. I will keep looking.

[TheUltimateWarrior]

ok thnx dude!!

[OUTLAWS The Machine]

That is a Chaintech board model 6OIV2. I'm downloading the manual now.

[TheUltimateWarrior]

ok

[OUTLAWS The Machine]

see if this helps.

[OUTLAWS The Machine]

Move JP5 to the other 2 pins.

[OUTLAWS The Machine]

I'll be back shortly.

[TheUltimateWarrior]

ok i'll try

[TheUltimateWarrior]

but wheres jp5?

[TheUltimateWarrior]

machine its 1 am and i have to go to school tomorrow and my dad is getting pretty angry

so i have to get back at this first thing tomorrow

thnx for all ur help today!!!!!!!!
and u2 nobody thnx!!!!

i hope u can help me tomorrow too!

[OUTLAWS The Machine]

Here is location.

[TheUltimateWarrior]

ok
i try to find it after school

i be back from school in a few hours

[TheUltimateWarrior]

i've changed the jumper and still no sound
so i'm gonna change it back

tomorrow i'll try to install a soundcard of a friend

[OUTLAWS The Machine]

Hmmmm. Time to buy a sound card guess.

[TheUltimateWarrior]

yeah i think so too

but thnx for your help anyway!!

it was really nice of you to try to help me!!!!

[OUTLAWS The Machine]

No problem dude. I wish we could have gotten it fixed. It's hard for me to trouble shoot something unless I'm there. Onboard audio sucks anyway. Consider this a good excuse to upgrade. LOL

[TheUltimateWarrior]

yeah its an good reason too update

i'm gonna borrow chan's soundcard tomorrow after school

hopefully it will work

[TheUltimateWarrior]

ok i borrowed chan's soundcard and my sound worked :)

so i have to buy a soundcard

thnx for all your help machine and nobody!!

you guys are great!

[OUTLAWS The Machine]

Cool. It will be nice polaying with sound again. Which card are you going to buy? You need suggestions? What's your price limit?

[TheUltimateWarrior]

i dont know

i just have to go with my dad to a computer shop once
when we're there i'll just talk some about computers and why he should get a good soundcard ( he's a complete computer dummy, so he believes me quikly)

so i have to go to my mom for a week tomorrow, so i guess the soundcard has to wait

[Nobody]

Glad to hear the card worked for you Ultimate. Like Machine said onboard sound sucks anyway so it is no great loss except it costs a little money to replace :D . I don't know how things are there but here you can get sound cards are pretty cheap. Good luck !!!!

[TheUltimateWarrior]

well i hope for my dad it cheap too!

he's cheap too!
lol

thats why my computer sux this much!

[OUTLAWS The Machine]

You would be better off ordering it off the internet. I don't know about over there, but here parts a a lot cheaper over the net.

[TheUltimateWarrior]

maybe order it from america

but i only know best buy
i bought my video card there when i was in america this year
but the dont deliver out the us

so know any good shops?

[OUTLAWS The Machine]

I know plenty of places in the US but not sure if they deliver overseas. www.newegg.com is where I order all my parts.

[TheUltimateWarrior]

ok i'll check it tomorrow
bed time for me :(
