AC97 Sound Card Shown in Device Manager but not in Multi-media Preferred devices
Hi
As some of u will remember I have flashed my BIOS ( flash bought from e-support and specifically for my motherboard). This was because it was the only way I could get my system to see my new 120GIG drive. My AC97 sound card is shown in Device Manager (with no problems or conflicts) but not in Multi-media Preferred devices on the audio tab, however it is listed on the threads of the device tab. I have no sound or volume control on the t/b. I have reinstalled the on-board card and it is set to AUTO in the new BIOS. Does it seem a BIOS problem? It obviously looks that way. If so, I can leave it and get support from them. It seems that Windows is seeing the Sound card and it installs it OK using the drivers on my motherboard CD. I have even tried the Microsoft drivers but I have read in past messages on here that they dont always work. I dont understand why it is seen in DM but not in Multimedia. Everything else is working OK. I just wondered if there was anything that i had not tried. Thanks Nigel --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

AC97 Sound Card Shown in Device Manager but not in Multi-media Preferred devices
Hi Noel
Yes it does. Many more items listed in sound, video...in DM in safe mode. The AC97 sound card is there (once only). However, there are several items around in various sections of that are listed twice. Also there are 3 unknown devices that don't appear in DM in normal start-up. In fact in Normal start-up there is nothing that shows any error at all....ive expanded all branches. Im guessing ur going to tell me to remove any item that shows up twice in DM when in safe mode? I will wait tho...until u tell me. Thanks for the fast reply and help Kind Regards Nigel NB An after thought (not important)...is there a file that i can save which preserves my icon layout in normal mode so that when i use safe mode i can then go back to my original icon d/t layout??.. I tent to be icon mad on the d/t Ta ! "Noel Paton" wrote in message ...

AC97 Sound Card Shown in Device Manager but not in Multi-media Preferred devices
Noel
Thanks for the URL re the d/t icons. That just what i need. I will use it as soon as Ive resolved my sound card problem. Ive done what u said in safe mode. When i return to normal mode DM tries to re-install 2 unknown devices. I guess they are my webcam & digital cam. I have the disks handy but have not re-installed yet. All looks OK in SM DM. However, still no sound card other that in DM as before. I found the Microsoft program hwinfo /ui which i have run. I dont know if the parts of its report gives u any further info re my problem.

AC97 Sound Card Shown in Device Manager but not in Multi-media Preferred devices
Those problems should have shown up in DM in Safe Mode!
Unless your webcam/digicam are plugged in when you reboot, then windows shouldn't attempt to reinstall the drivers for them..... Power down Unplug both cameras from the PC Boot to Safe Mode, Remove ALL 'Other Devices' Remove ALL error-flagged Devices (yellow '!', red 'X', green '?') - you'll have to expand the tree completely to be able to check them Remove ALL instances of duplicated or non-existent devices Uninstall your HP printer Reboot to Normal Mode - what attempts to install now? rerun hwinfo - what shows?

AC97 Sound Card Shown in Device Manager but not in Multi-media Preferred devices
Hi Noel
I have done what u said. Nothing now showing as error in either SM or NM. Nothing showing more than once except IRQ Holder for PCI Steering...that shows 7 times in SM, but not at all in NM. I did remove all instances of it when in SM first time ( I wasn't sure if u meant for me to do that). Ive expanded all branches both in NM and SM and I cant see any duplicates or any errors. hwinfo now just reports one item as an error in red: Class: System This Device Has a Problem: Code=22 (0x16) This device is disabled.

Also, I do have a TV/video card installed. Sorry, I should have thought of trying that before but i rarely use it. When I switched this on this aft, I got loud background hissing sound. The arial is not connected at present so I wouldnt get any channels but it seemed like this would have worked. This is the only time I have had even the slightest sound. I only guessing but are u going to tell me to remove that card from the PC?? Has it "kind of" taken over the sound card? Thanks for all ur time on this, I am very grateful.

AC97 Sound Card Shown in Device Manager but not in Multi-media Preferred devices
I don't think the TV card has taken over the sound - but it's likely that
there's a conflict. Try uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers for it (remove them in Safe Mode, and reboot to Normal Mode) BTW - is the sound an on-board chip, or a PCI card?? If on-board, have you perhaps disabled it in the BIOS?? -- Noel Paton (MS-MVP 2002-2004, Win9x) Nil Carborundum Illegitemi http://www.btinternet.com/~winnoel/millsrpch.htm Please read http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm on how to post messages to NG's or http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/f.../Mar27pmvp.asp "Lago Jardin" wrote in message ...

Noel
Vie uninstalled and reinstalled the TV Card as u said. Still the same problem. Same error reported using hwinfo. The sound is on-board and its definitely enabled in the BIOS.
