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.
