Heres the dxdiag part

View attachment DxDiag1.txt

theres the dxdiag

Interesting... not the least of which is you have 3! sound cards on that machine. Two of which look like they're currently installed at this point (your onboard sound card plus the Creative SB PCI 128 card).

Your current default sound device is set to Realtek (which is the onboard sound card).
> I don't know why onboard sound shouldn't work but try you can also change your default sound to the Creative SB sound card

Scroll down to the footnotes in [post=926040]Reference Guide to Help Setup and Troubleshoot Windows Audio and Sound Cards[/post]

>See Footnote #4 for how to change default playback device.
> If still problems, see footnote #3. Test your sound by checking Windows sounds. Do windows sounds work on either sound card?

/* edit */
And if you STILL have sound problems, are you sure your external speakers are working?? Can you try pluging in a headset other external device??

Note you can also use the Dxdiag sound tabs to test sound from your playback devices (you should see 2 tabs - one for each device)

I tried both number 3 and 4 and nothing worked. On number 3 I didn't hear no sound at all

OK Based on the Report you gave with the Audio Chipset maybe this driver will work.

This driver is for an old gigabyte motherboard which uses the SiS 7012 Chipset audio driver the same as yours.

• When you need the FIRST driver on the list s7012.zip
• Right Click and Save target as and save the driver to your desktop
• Extract and install

Crossed fingers this will work

|You may aslo want to consider this driver (again from an old gigabyte site) whihc matches your Graphics VGA Chipset.
http://oldweb.gigabyte.com.tw/support/d_sis.htm#sis6xx_7xx

Scroll down the list undtil you see the heading
SIS 633/635/645/645DX/648/655/733/735 AGP Driver

Thi driver name is s6xx7xxagp.zip

Again right click save target as.


hope this helps

The Sis driver is another good one to try :grinthumb

I'd only add: Be sure to first look in Add/Remove programs to uninstall the Realtek stuff first. (I'm not sure that Sis would recognize to know to uninstall the Realtek stuff itself so maybe good to first do so yourself to be certain)

jamesodriscoll

it didnt work
these 2 things popped up

Rats! Sorry to hear more bad news

1. BEFORE you tried the install, did you first go into Add/Remove programs to uninstall Realtek first???

2. This is the newest Sis driver from Sis. I also checked and it does match your onboard soundcard ID. (tho so did the realtek driver you also installed since it installed OK according to your dxdiag report) If i recall when i looked there's a setup.exe file to run in the Sis download zip file

But i'm also not convinced its a simple driver issue as your last dxdiag / directx showed both Creative and Realtek were installed correctly and even your old Creative still wouldn't work.

It may still provde simplest and cheapest to look at cheap USB sound cards if this is all too painful

That said...
> Have you tried using a different speaker or headset? make sure its not the ext. speakers
> Do you have internal speakers? Are you still hearing beeps? As another thing to try is boot into Knoppix from CD and see if your audio works under a bootable Knoppix vs Windows (to build a Knoppix CD see Step #2 here: See [post=766270]How to recover your folders/files when Windows won’t boot[/post]

/* edit */
Note you don't need a sound card for Windows to generate beep tones. you can test your internal speakers with beepex tool. The internal speakers should work with onboard sound

OH. I don't know if will help but also see . MS KB How to troubleshoot sound problems in Windows XP.

Hi steve79ni

To get proper attention and not confuse details/instruction for the original topic, you should start your own thread (with its own descriptive title) for your own problem and include full system specs in yur post including Windows OS. Worthwhile for you to first skim through
