Okay, let's delve a little further into what parts are in your computer. In particular, I'm looking for the motherboard make/model.

Download and install Everest Home Edition
Run the program and then click on Report up the top.
Click Next, select System Summary Only and click Next, select Plain Text and click Finish.
Copy the second section of the report (Near the top, called Summary) and paste it into your next reply.

Hi. Does this link take you to your computer? If so, try going to this link and download the audio drivers - it's called "Audio Driver for ST61G4 (20.2 MB)". You will need to install this and (most probably) restart your computer. Does it help any?

If it doesn't help, or that's not your computer, then let me know in your next reply. :)

Sorry, we're not helping too well here! Okay, let me review your thread...

Okay here's a thought. According to your Everest report, you have two audio devices installed. They may be conflicting, resulting in no sound. Please remove the PCI card, and just use the onboard audio. You should uninstall the programs and drivers related to the PCI card as well.

If this works, then we need to find a way to disable the onboard audio if you want to use the PCI card instead.

Perhaps you can put the card back in, then uninstall all related software from Windows and then uninstall the card from Device Manager. Then shut-down and remove the card, does that help any?

Audio Adapter C-Media CMI8738/C3DX Audio Device

This is your on board sound.





If the card is installed correctly it should be in Add Remove Programs. The drivers need to be cleaned out. Get some CCleaner and under uninstall find anything that is soundcard related...the drivers should show up. They should also be in your program files. Do a search find them and delete as necessary. Now your card will need to be reinstalled but before you do that.......get rid of onboard sound. The PCI sound card can sit in the computer and wait.

FOR ONBOARD SOUND: Make sure it isn't in Device Manager, if it is DISABLE IT, after you are 100% on that. Go into Bio's under Integrated Perphials there should be AC97 AUDIO set to AUTO. If you havent disabled it do so now. Now your on board sound will not work.

Then your card should work with all proper plugs drivers ect. Your computer should recognize it automaticly and take you through all the steps. Follow and Download everything off of CD installation disk and Blamo it should work :) Well hopefully. I didn't read the whole thread but maybe that helps a little.

Hi fellow people,

I come back with another problem :) . Here is the basic problem... There is absolutely no sound. When I play a file with my window media player, it plays but with no sound. But of course there is nothing wrong. I bought a new sound card to make sure and updated with the lasted driver and codec. Even after that, my window media player say now there is a problem with my sound device. There is no problems on the hardware list too. This had me stump. So i decided to format! Argg... what a timewaster indeed. It did not solve anything. So guys, help me :] I would really like to have sound and hear music blasting from my speakers. Oh yeah, i bought another set of speakers to make sure my old speaker is working ok, still didn't do a thing. I check bios also, it has no confoguration relating to sound also :/



No Config in BIOS? ARE YOU SURE?

Here is what I have done so far:
1. I remove the PCI Sound Card and try to remove it/disabling it. Failed, no sound
2. I put back the PCI Sound Card and install it back, while disabling all other programs relating to the motherboard. Still no sound
If I have done something wrong in that process let me know :)

After completing step 1 (remove/disable), did you install the drivers for the onboard audio? You may need to run through the whole uninstall/reinstall process, in case the current drivers are corrupt.
