Audio Problem on Soyo mother board

If I'm interpreting what you are saying correctly it sounds like you are either trying to use the on board network connector on your mother board to connect to a Audio Dock, or you are using the wrong kind of Audio dock together with your PCI or PCIe E-MU card.
Scenario 1: You'll most likely fry the network connector and the Audio dock or if you are really lucky only one of them. Fingers crossed that it's the cheaper of the two that goes.
Scenario 2: The 1616/1616m will only work with the PCIe version of the controller card from E-MU. The 1820/1820m will only work with the PCI version of the controller board.
Again, if you are lucky your hardware is still functional, but I wouldn't bet on it. Combining the wrong controller with the wrong Dock will most likely smell a bit funny after a while.
The PCI version of the controller board provides power to the whole 1820 and considering how hot the docks can get you can bet that it's quite a lot of current that is provided.
I've tried to figure out the pinout of the EDI-connector and there's a 48VDC going into the dock's onboard PWM-regulator. This is apparently generated from a floppy-power connector providing an additional source of 12VDC to the step-up PWM on the controller board.

This motherboard supports PCI video card not the AGP type.

Please go to this site and download the following driver. Hope this helps.

Your MoBo has (1) of each PCI Express x1 & and PCI Express x16 slots, and (2) standard PCI slots. There are NO AGP bus slots on this board. You'd want to use buy a PCI Express x16 video card instead of a PCI video card due to the better performance offered by the PCI Express cards.

The full details of your motherboard are below:

You could possibly try to find a driver from the actual manufacturer of the mother board. HP doesn't actually make the mother board another company usually does, you can try to find out who makes it by looking at *********** board for names, model numbers, etc. and doing a google search for manufacturer that list that board.

Also it could be that the ethernet port on that board has failed and just doesn't work anymore. You could purchase a new motherboard, or for a lot less money purchase a PCI Network card that plugs into one of the mother board's PCI slots and use it instead. Or if you can't find one of those you could use a USB to Ethernet adapter.

Hope this helps, and good luck. Don't forget to leave feedback. Thanks.

Looking in the net I found someone running an E8500 on this board so I guess an E8400 will work fine.

Dear sir,

Welcome to once again Fixya support

According your problem it seems to be your try to install faulty Network card. So better is check with new good card.another possibility is some time pci slots fail to recognise a hardware, so try it with another pci slots of mother board.According to you onboard network card is dead, means motherboard fails to work when connect to a network,after successfull installation of network card also the possibility of motheboard not allow you to work with new network card ,same situation may arise,i am also managed same problems in several customer place while working as an computer hardware engineer.So try with new network card it may solve your problem


good luck

you may download the driver here..

That means that the audio card is either faulty, or the driver software for the audio card must be reinstalled.

To find out if it is the software, reinstall the software using the computer install disk.
If you do not have the disk you can download the drivers from manufacturer website.

If the card is faulty, that is because unplugging in a bad way caused a short or broke the jack socket solder joint on board.
In that case buy a replacement
Either external USB : StarTech.com USB 2.0 to Audio Adapter Sound card
Or internal:6 Channel PCI Audio Sound Card Adapter for .
Audio cards are not expensive and you can buy a new one with a small fee.

can u give me the model no of *********** bord
