My on-board sound chip shows in Device Mgr as CMI8738 (Asus m/b) but in
BIOS, only reference is AC97.
I ran into mixer problem (no mic support) so after months of trying various
drivers (and neither CMedia nor Asus gave any help solving this, and
unfortunately no-one in this ng was able to assist at the time). So, I
disabled AC97 (both instances) in BIOS, installed a new sound card/drivers.
BUT - CMI8738 still came up in Device Manager. Uninstalling made no
difference - picked up as new hardware, auto-installed..
Solution - DISABLE IN THIS CONFIGURATION. This works, CMI8738 is disabled,
new soundcard works just fine. My prob doesn't exactly match yours, but is
similar, so my solution may also work for you.
Hope this helps. Len
