RE: No Sound on IBM ThinkPad T42

Hi, I posted the T20 no audio. I'm sure it's because the chip on mine, the
Crystal Semiconductor (now Cirrus) Crystal SoundFusion device: CS4281 is
not compatible with xp. My T20 came with win98se. The T20s that came with
xp had
one of 4 diff chips. It's really irksome though that according to the
device manager everything is workijg properly. The only solution is to get
either a
usb or pcmia soundcard. I've tried drivers from driver guide that were
supposed to work with the 4281 & xp and tried the original 98 drivers,
none work. Lenovo do list the crystal chip no's that were on motherboards
for the T series that were sold with xp pre-installed. I can't remember
what ones, but as I say, if yours is, as mine, a CS4281, forget it.
Best wishes and good luck. If you figure out a different solution, please
let me know.
David.

Go to IBM's website and download the XP drivers for that laptop.

Cheers.
