Onboard sound disappeared, I think PNY is the problem

[Tha General]

Sound came back , sounds clear, no issues.

LOL I was in the middle of installing a sound driver off my win98se system installer disc, when my computer froze , so i had to restart, and it says found hardware, etc installing software, and there you go.

Oh well, i will enjoy it while i can, because when i shut off my computer before i rest tonight, it will disappear again, i guess.

For starters
1. You need to carefully determine the version of the intel 810 chipset on your motherboard (start here)
2. you need carefully determine your motherboard!! (start here) It's not clear if it's a pure Intel board or an intel board sold thru OEM (Gateway computers?). VISUALLY identify it at some point!
3. If you have an OEM board you should be finding chipset software on the OEM site and not the Intel site.
4. You should always try installing chipset software based on motherboard if at all possible. If can't, only then try the chipset vendor
5. Have you been changing the chipset software at all?? as you switched back and forth between operating systems? (it can vary between XP and 98se) if so, where were u pulling the software from??
6. You also need id the motherboard as some have hardware jumpers for sound control as well
7. You didn't give me the BIOS info. And you'll need verify what version you are using/should be using.
8. I believe that onboard sound for the 810 chipset family is all controlled by Intel® 82801AA ICH (I/O Controller Hub) so all its functions and BIOS settings are relavent as well
9. You should look back for edits as will probably have a couple more things to add but will have to wait till morning till i look-em-up

P.S. In the future, please paste long text reports into notepad and attach to your TechSpot post
P.P.S. And all the above in addition to the possibility you have something broken/cracked as well!

Do you have in add & remove programs High Definition driver package installed on your PC Tha General. Or some kind of thing like that ?

Well folks, the bottom line, it seems like something is wrong with my onboard audio, i must of hit something when i kinda force the video card or the video card did something to my motherboard onboard audio, either way i am buying 2 sound cards soon.
peace

Now this is interesting. I type in msconfig, change it to " Normal startup, load all devices , drivers and software and my sound came back(found hardware, installing drivers).

What do you make of that ?

 

[electromagnetic]

Back for good or temporary.

Back for good or temporary.

Hey Electromagnetic, seems to be back for good. It seems it was a problem with certain drivers or devices loading up, because after going into msconig , changing the settings to normal setup, the sound is back for good.

So i am guessing when i had that PNY 8400GS, it did something to my setup, but all is well know.

Btw, if you was wondering why my youtube account i haven updated any videos lately because i am getting a new computer soon for the newer games, so i will update soon.

But i have a second youtube gaming page, for win98se which i am back to using. I can't record any sound, on win98se, because of fraps version which i have to use.
I plan to add music to my videos.

I haven't finish the page yet, should be finish in a few days or so.
