I just upgraded my motherboard to an INTEL with an integral sound/mic/joystick/speaker input jacks in the back. My previous one did not, so I never had any sound available.
I hooked up some speakers to test them, but nothing came out. Is there something I should do to enable the sound system on my motherboard?
THanks,

did you install the drivers? Are there any devices in your control panel under Other Devices?
We need more info to help. |

Danny,
Thanks for the response.
I didn't know that the motherboards had software and I went to INTEL's site and downloaded the updates. I just need to hook up some speakers and I should be ready.
Thanks Again. |

Hi everyone, I have a system question:
I recently upgraded my 450mhz PII to an Athlon 800Mhz, other additions to the upgrade inlcude a 32mb Elsa Erazor X2 DDR-TV OUT video card. I have a Kenwood 52x CD-ROM, a 10GB HD, 128mb of PC-100 memory, US Robotics 56K V90 modem (PCI) and a Sound Blaster Live Value sound card. My monitor is a 17' Optiquest Q-71, and lastly, a 300 watt power supply. The mobo is an Epox KX7A. My question/problem is, my friends PIII 600 is kicking my machine's butt. The PIII 600 is configured as: A-Bit 440BX mobo, 256megs of PC-100 memory, a TNT2 Creative Labs 32mb Video card, and a 14GB HD (7200 rpm), and a 50x CDROM drive. I do not know the size of the power supply. Anyhow, I dont understand why that machine seems to perform better than mine. Using 3DMark2000 as a benchmark, my machine will not even execute the benchmark. It will run the demo, but even the demo looks better on the PIII 600. I have all the latest drivers for everything including my monitor, (includes an updated video bios and driver, and an updated mobo bios). I'm inclined to believe that I need a bigger power supply, as I understand the Athlon to be a power hog. I am also looking at buying 256megs of PC-133 as the FSB on my mobo will support that. Will either of these be that great an impact on helping my system perform better? Would a bigger/better monitor help? If anyone can provide some words of wisdom, I would be very greatful.
