Sound Drivers

[yourcodenameisnick]

I've recently reinstalled Windows XP onto a machine.

I get this if I run Everest (http://i215.photobucket.com/albums/cc97/yourcodenameisnick/sound.jpg)

Although I cannot find the correct drivers for this motherboard.

Please try the XP driver for the Intel 82801eb ICH5 here (http://developer.intel.com/design/motherbd/rc/rc_drive.htm).

[yourcodenameisnick]

If you mean this. (http://i215.photobucket.com/albums/cc97/yourcodenameisnick/audiodriver.jpg)

Then for some reason I get this this :uhwell: (http://i215.photobucket.com/albums/cc97/yourcodenameisnick/drivererror.jpg) when trying to install.

[Van Nugent]

Are you using an add-on soundcard? Let me see if I can find a soundmax driver for you.

[Van Nugent]

Let's try this (http://driverbyte.com/soundmax-ac-97-audio_download/). If this does not work for your board, try this one (http://www.radarsync.com/software/s225661-soundmax_control_center).

[yourcodenameisnick]

I'm using the onboard sound.

[Van Nugent]

Let's try this (http://driverbyte.com/soundmax-ac-97-audio_download/). If this does not work for your board, try this one (http://www.radarsync.com/software/s225661-soundmax_control_center).Did you try either 1 of those?

[yourcodenameisnick]

Thanks for the links, but all attempts at installation result in the same "Driver not found, reboot and try again".

[Van Nugent]

Then try the Realtek driver (http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&DwnldId=8198&lang=eng). The problem is you can't tell what motherboard you have. I believe your board might not be an Intel board even though it uses the Intel chipset.

[yourcodenameisnick]

I've just tried this.

Now itunes opens with an error stating that it may not work because it disagrees with the sound settings.

I've ordered a sound card, that should be delivered some time next week, so hopefully that will solve my problem.

Oh, and this is my motherboard:

[Van Nugent]

Did you try the audio driver from this page (http://www.asrock.com/mb/download.asp?Model=P4i65G&s=478)?

[yourcodenameisnick]

Well...
I've just tried it now.




THANKS! :D

It worked.

Thanks very much for your help :)

[Van Nugent]

NP! Remember to save the driver for future use. :)
