soundcard

[punker14]

We have a problem here at home, our motherboard has an on-board soundcard but we can't find any good drivers.
So if anyone can help me, I did that bios wizard if that is a help for you.

BIOS Manufacturer : American Megatrends
BIOS ID : 62-0529-001131-00101111-040201-VIA_P6
BIOS Date : 05/29/02
BIOS OEM Signon :
BIOS ROM Size : 256K
Chipset : VIA 82C3128 rev 1
Super I/O Chip : Known super I/O chip is not found

That BIOS ID is used for a couple of boards by the looks of it:

ECS P4VXASD2


PcChips M925LR


Either of these look like your motherboard, and what is your operating system?

I don't actually know which one it is, I don't have the time to look right now, but if it is one of those two it must be the first one I think.

I use Windows XP Pro

I'll be back on sunday so until then I can't give you more information.

There are several possibilities, 3 of which are shown here:

Might help narrow things down a bit.

Pcchips/ECS either use the chipset integrated sound - VIA AC97 - or CMedia AC97 .
Older boards may use Realtek AC97 Sound

www.viarena.com -> Vinyl Audio
www.cmedia.com.tw -> 9738/9739 -> latest driver should be listet at 9761 audio ( uses the same driver)
www.realtek.com.tw -> ALC650 driver

Thank you very much both, the problem is solved now

I was going to say you can sometimes determine on-board audio by looking at chips on the mainboard, but congratulations on solving it.

Out of curiousity, what was the board and what was the audio driver required?

Looking on the motherboard is easier said than done, the case isn't very easy to open and when u get it open u can only open one side. I tried it before and it wasn't very easy to put it back together, so I didn't want to try that again.

Anyway, it was the VIA AC97. Still don't know what motherboard but so what, I have sound now
