soundcard issues

Post by {Nathan} »

with my new comp, it came with windows 98se and everything worked fine, but it had a ton of stuff I didnt want so i formated the computer. everything works fine exept for the sound card.

I have tried to take out all the other stuff exept the video card to check to see if it was some kind of compatibility issue, but its not. I tryed 2 different drivers for it, didnt work. windows and sound controll says its working but my speakers say differently.

i have tryed 2 different speakers in each jack and it still wont work! does anyone have any ideas? i might just have to buy a new one,

andway, thx

What kind of sound card do you have in there?

Driver issues...get the driver disc, or replacement drivers from the sound card or PC manufacturer...

Been there. Done that. It failed. I tryed 4 different drivers and 3 different speakers in each output place... I think my soundcard is crap but at the same time, I think it worked before I formatted...

Two things:

1. The CT4810 has several different manufacturers. You'd have to figure out which one it is. If it's an onboard sound card, you're in big trouble.

2. Your sig is incorrect. QBASIC 4.5 does not exist. :P

To nek: I DONT GIVE A CRAP!!!

I found out that it is a Soundblaster PCI 64, but when I installed the drivers it can't even detect the sound card at all. I am just gonna get the drivers from my friend.

EDIT: It is working now. But its really quite even when I have 2 giant speakers (they are from a stereo so they don't have an amplifier) and were REALLY loud on my laptop, but they are really quite on full volume in Winamp and sound control.

I know about the amplified and non-amplified jack, and only 1 jack is working... :-/

Line Out has its own output controller, and it's usually hidden by default in Windows' Volume Control.

If it's not listed then it isn't supported. I'm not sure about that particular model, but most of the CT line does have a seperate controller for Line Out. I guess that one doesn't, then...surprising, considering it's a 4xxx model, which isn't exactly terribly old as far as soundcards go.

Since the processor is only 533 mhz, im gonna upgrade the motherboard to one with a built-in soundcard and an athlon about 2800 which will make my dad mad that I have a better computer than him!
