BIOS Updates forum

Just reintalled windows98se but cannot see the SOUND AND GAME CONTROLLERS in Device Mamager.I have m747 v5.0 with onboard sound,I reinserted the sound cable to make sure but no help there.Help please.Felix [/b]

If you see the it as unknown device, you need to install the drivers http://www.cmedia.com.tw/edl8330.htm

I do not see it as an unknown anywhere in device manager,it is simply not there,double-clicking multimedia in control panel does not help,everything in multimedia is (greyed-out)Will installing the drivers restore them or I need it in device manager before I can able to install the drivers?.Thanks.Felix.

Then your sound chip is disabled. Enable it; check the manual.

I think I cleared the JP8 --CMOS RAM Clear Selector jumper by accident, I found that out after I started the PC, then I head two quick beeps followed by one beep--at post it says : cmos checksum bad
press f1 to run setup
press f2 to load default values and continue
In cmos,everything is changed,350 mhz is now 233 mhz,the clock reads:1998 and no HDD information,all gone.Iwas trying enable the sound chip,tho I changed the selector back to normal mode but everything in cmos is still changed.Where do I begin to fix it?

Please help.Felix.

After you move the jumper back to normal, you need to configure everything - set the date, use autodetect for the HDDs, set the CPU frequency back to 350MHz, etc. Then save & exit.

After the cmos ram clear selector incident,I was able to see "other device" in device manager.After I moved the jumper back to normal,I did what I could to reconfigure everything in cmos,intalled the the sound drivers and everything seem okay for now.Thanks guys.
