This is a weird one, so I'm wondering if anyone else has run into this issue. I am running an Abit SD7-533 MB with the latest BIOS revision, 2x512 cas 2.5 Kingston DDR, 80 gig WD hd, Windows XP Pro @ 2.4ghz (not overclocking). Frontside bus of 100, ram at 133 for stabilities sake while I try and solve this.
I can't get ANY sound to work at all. I can't seem to get the onboard sound card to work, nor any soundcard for that matter, I tried a Soundblaster Live, Soundblaster 128, and some Realtech $5 special...Best I've managed to do is get a weird High Pitched feedback noise to come out of the speakers which work fine of a diskman output.
So far I have tried swaping out the RAM (used ram from other pc), Changing out the soundcards (disabling the onboard one in the bios & moving pci slots for others), bumping down the cas latency on the ram to the slowest settings, Updating the bios to the latest revision (7r I think). Reinstalling windows xp pro...NOTHING has helped. System is stable & runs 3dmark 2001 just fine.
I am totaly stumped on this one. The only thing I can think of is that I am missing a motherboard driver of some sort (ya, I lost the abit cd). the only thing I can find for the SIS 645 chipset is the AGP driver ver 1.09...abit's wonderful website ofcourse has jack **** for the board.
HELP, any ideas...anyone?!? I can pretty much bet my left nut that its something with this motherboard, since the soundcards work fine in other systems, but I can't figure out what. Am I just missing a driver? Anyone that still has their origional ABIT SD7-533 cd...can ya check for me?
Anyway, I'm ranting, its almost midnight and I have no sound
