ASUS POST voice reporter not working

I have an Asus A7V333 and recently flashed the BIOS with the supplied AsusUpdate program from 1005 to 1017 - the newest final version.

I rebooted and hey! No POST speakage telling me it was OK. I went into the BIOS and there WERE NO OPTIONS FOR vocal POST reporting

I re-flashed the voice chip with the Winbond voice editor thingy (v1.0) in case it was corrupted (took over an hour ) but to no avail.

Is the new BIOS at fault?
I really miss being able to hear if my PC is alive/dead because it says what the problem is if it doesn't boot up i.e. due to OCing.

Any ideas?

Odd, you try clearing cmos and all that. I have a A7V333 around here running the 1017 and post reporter works fine.

2nd though are you sure you flashed the right BIOS. I know with the A7N8X it is only the deluxe model that has the reporter. Did you maybe flash the A7V333-X BIOS?

I haven't cleared the CMOS that sounds pretty major. There isn't an option in the Boot menu for the POST reporter and the Asus website said the BIOS was for A7V333 Motherboard - no others

W00T I found the problem

The POST enably thing had been moved to the Advanced->I/O Config menu. The POST reporter itself was enabled but now has lots of sub-options that were disabled. I Enabled them and Yay! It works

Thx anyway

1st time I heard mine, I about fell on the floor laughing.

A talking mobo?

OMG !!!!!! ROTFLMAO !!!
Woot !

After the first time I heard that female's voice from the reporter I rebooted and immediately disabled the voice reporter. I don't need my mobo to tell me if it's ok or not. All I need to hear is that one beep at bootup and I know my pc's ok.

BTW, you can record your own message for the voice reporter.
