Re: No sound

Hi Mack

I have also recently had problems with my C-Media card - happened after I
inadvertently downloaded some hardware upgrade on the Microsoft update page

Try this before doing anything drastic.

Instead of going to the motherboard Manu site, download Everest (home
edition) ...

http://www.lavalys.com/products/download.php?pid=1&lang=en

load it up and right click on the Multimedia icon (I selected HTML version)

this will give you something like this :

PCI / PnP Audio

Device Description Type
SiS 7012 Audio Device PCI



Throw this into 'Google' for an updated driver -

you could try the location where I got mine from :

http://www.sis.com/download/download_step2.php?id=155808&agree=1&country=UK&Image7911.x=64&Image7911.y=11

reboot and cross your fingers !

It worked for me after going up many blind alleys - I hope it may work for
you

Good luck

Jim
