Sound card problem!

hello,
1st go to ur bios and change SATA Mode to AHCI from IDE
then try install win xp again :D

did you check your windows volume control on win 7 n vista right click sound /speaker icon go to recording devices and make sure its picking up your microphone.

Check for whether the Audio Driver is Working .Also check the sound and audio in the control panel (Whether it is muted or not) .Reinstall Driver If the problem persists . Reinstall OS if necessary

Microsoft Windows Sound Card Test There are also several test that can be performed from Windows. Microsoft recommends the following procedure:

"Verify that Windows can play .wav files:

1. Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.



2. Double-click the Sounds icon.



3. Under Events, click an event that has a loudspeaker icon next to it.



4. In the Name text box, be sure that the three-letter file extension is ".wav".



5. Under Preview, click the Play button. You should hear a sound.

If you don't hear any sounds, or if Windows is not able to play a .wav file, check to see that a sound driver is enabled:

1. Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.



2. Double-click the System icon.



3. Click the Device Manager tab.



4. Click the plus sign next to Sound, Video And Game Controllers.



5. If there is no Sound, Video And Game Controllers entry, or you have no sound card listed under this entry, contact the manufacturer of the computer or sound card and request help reinstalling the sound card drivers.

One word DRIVERS. This is ya whole problem... simply Win 7 doesn't have the correct drivers for your PC. Unless ya have the correct drivers ya gonna always have problems. Find suitable drivers for everyone of your devices and store in a Directory, when you install, then, ya will have the correct drivers and hopefully Win 7 will install fine. Remember also Drivers can be installed in "Computability Mode" for XP SP2. Otherwise stick with Vista?

I would complain about Vista--many problems with vista--I cant believe the tech would do that without your consent..why do you think they are offering back XP as an option on new computers?

Right-click Computer in the Start menu, choose Properties, and click the Advanced System Setting link. Then, navigate to the Hardware tab and click the Device Manager button. You'll notice orange "bangs" next to all the devices that Vista doesn't immediately support. But fear not, Windows Update is now a great place to get drivers. Assuming that Vista has detected one of your network connections, run Windows Update (it's in the Start menu) and check for any drivers available for your system. Install all the drivers that Windows Update finds and reboot as necessary. When those drivers are up and running, check Device Manager again. If you still see unsupported devices then right click them one at a time and choose properties, then click the details tab, you will be shown a VEN (vendor) number and a DEV (device) number. Write these down and go to http://www.pcidatabase.com where you can enter the VEN and DEV numbers to look up who made the device, what the model number is, and where to get the drivers. Good luck!

Hi,
First of all you need to find out what sound chip you have on your motherboard. Download and install PC Wizard and click onto the loudspeaker icon. This should give you all the info you need about your computer. If you still cannot locate a suitable driver on the web come back and I will have a look for you.

PC wizard download is at the bottom of the page.

Put your window XP disk into the Disk drive. Start up your computer. When it asks you what Drive you want to install it on select C:\ (where Vista is) Say yes to deleting the current Operating System and follow the instructions from there.

You did say you wanted to Uninstall Vista!

If you mean Dual Boot Vista and XP, then you will need to create a Logical Partition of about 10 Gb to install XP on and when asked where to install select this partition. But note that XP will wipe the Boot sector clean of all other Operating Systems which means that if you want to Dual boot then you will have to reinstall Vista again to get Dual Boot functionality.

the red and white x indicates that your speaker is in mute mode. you just have to click that speaker icon and uncheck the mute. then you'll hear a music thats for sure.
