Sound card problem: shpchp not found at boot

Whenever I boot up, about half way though, a the hotplugging section, I believe, I get the following error:
...Can't load module shpchp
Missing kernel of user mode driver shpchp.
Then there is a looooong pause, and I get this error. Twice.
...Can't load module snd-cs4232
Missing kernel of user mode driver snd-cs4232.
Then I get this error like 50 times:
...Can't load module snd-cs4236
Missing kernel of user mode driver snd-cs4236.
Then I get the same error, but with snd-wavefront. Then It goes back to the cs232 and repeats the cycle two or three times. Needless to say, sound does not work at all.
I cannot modprobe shpchp or any of the otehr drivers, whenever I do (as root) I get a "No such device" message.
Help!

I get the same problem with hotplug and the Arch official kernel.
Then I made MY kernel with the /usr/src way (I hate using package management for that) and then hotplug ran smoothly and did not try to load unwanted modules.
What has that to do with Frem's problem?
Anyway, I don't have an idea how to use ISA soundcards because I have never had any, but here are some hints:
1.) Check http://www.alsa-project.org/. They have a list of soundcards that are supported and each entry normally comes with instructions how to set it up.
2.) Check http://www.tldp.org/ for a isapnptools howto.
3.) If 2. does not come up with anything, it is probably best to google for
"isapnptools howto" or similar search terms.
DON'T expect hotlpug to work with ISA soundcards or any other ISA device. It won't be able to. ISA is old and bad, there is normally no automatic hardware detection whatsoever. People had to tell their operating systems where the card was all the time before PCI became popular. However, that is not a reason not to run hotplug. For all stuff that the operating system can detect and configure automatically it works pretty fine, at least for me.

Audigy 2 sound card problems

I am hoping that someone out there can help me in a crucial situation.
I am using an Audigy 2 sound card with creative 5. speakers.
I also use Adobe Audition to edit, record sessions for my voice-over jobs.
Recently, I attempted to hook up a web cam so that I could see my grand daughter on the west coast.
After hooking up the web cam, I noticed my home studio environment changed drastically. I began having trouble with recording using my microphone through my Macki mixer. I began hearing a continuous hiss that I had never experienced before.
In fact after uninstalling the web cam, and restarting my computer, I got that horrible blue screen on my computer indicating the world was about to end! Smile
Long story short, I was able to finally get my computer back up, but I continue to experience problems recording "clean' audio".
Three things, after reinstalling Creative from disc several times and restarting my computer I receive a window stating Creative Media Source Detector.....Unable to load needed components....Please reinstall the application"
Also, when trying to test my sound hardware I get a message stating...Direct play voice setup..."an error occurred during direct play voice setup....error code 0x80004005
Last but not least I cannot access the "Creative diagnostic feature on my computer. I only get a small window for this feature that will not open up fully and allow me to run a diagnostic test!
I know this is a lot to absorb, but I cannot get anyone from Creative to address my problems because I am out of warranty and therefore not getting any love from this company.
Need your advice and or guidance on this.
Please respond when time allows.

Re: Audigy 2 sound card problems? use add/remove programs and remove all creative software and drivers, then do the same for your web cam and unplug it
restart your pc
download and install [url="http://downloads.guru3d.com/Guru3D---Driver-Sweeper-%28Setup%29-download-655.html" rel="nofollow">driver sweeper[/url] and use it to clean up any left over creative bits and bobs and restart your pc when it asks you to
now download and install the [url="http://support.creative.com/Products/product_list.aspx?catID=&CatName=Sound+Blaster" rel="nofollow">latest audigy drivers[/url]
once your back in to windows try recording something and see if everything's back to normal
now reinstalling your web cam but don't reinstall using the cd that came with it
find the manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers
install cd's best avoided simply because the software and drivers they contain are typically the initial release versions, and so potentially very old
and i think we can all agree that old, buggy drivers can be a real pain

Help!!! Installed Sound Card driver does not support Direct Sound input

I have just installed Premier Pro CS3 on a brand new PC. I am a new user and I am receiving a message "The installed sound card driver does not support direct sound input".
PC is a 3 GHZ Intel Duo

Boot camp "sound card" problem

Oh goodness. I seem to be one of many that is experiencing problems with the sound card in boot camp. Hopefully someone can help my situation.
I have set up the boot camp partition and installed Windows XP...and am using VMWare. Everything seems to be running smoothly in the partition except for the sound card. I work in special education and have a program called "Writing With Symbols" that is only made for Windows. When I try to run the program, a box appears stating "Error selecting a TTS engine (No sound card?) app will terminate" and then the "lovely" little error report box comes up. If anyone knows how to fix this problem, I would greatly appreciate the information!!
Thank you!!

I have updated with the OSX 10.5 disc and updated the drivers. I have done several internet searches that included information about text-to-speech to possible problems running WWS2000. I followed the directions for how to install the program when using it in a bootcamp partition on a Mac but the same problems kept occurring. I have googled the error box message that comes up and followed the directions for the two possible solutions that were listed on the product support page. At this point I am not sure what else to do.

Sound card works but not when rebooting

i followed all the steps...
alsaconf
alsamixer
/etc...noise.wav
alsactl store
edited the rc.conf
sound works but when i reboot, before the root i get the error... sound card not found?

check in rc.conf and see if your sound module isn't listed. Odd that it doesn't find your sound card on boot.
U may also need to run alsactl store as root. Permission problem, possibly?
sounds like alsaconfig is finding and loading the module each time u reboot, but its not being loaded because I think u need to run alsactl store as root, since it needs to be loaded by the kernel. That would require root privileges I would think. That's my best guess.

Dv6265us connexant PCI sound card + windows 7 = Not working

So I'm here becuase I can't find a driver on my own. I've scoured the internet for hours, finding very little to help with my issue. So here goes...
I have an HP Pavilion dv6000 (Dv6265us), and ever since I installed window 7, Windows cannot figure out what drivers to install for the PCI sound card. The best I've found so far says this:
"Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error while attempting to install it"
"Microsoft UAA Bus Driver for High Definition Audio"
"If you know the manufacturer of your device, you can visit its website and check the support section for driver software."
Now here's the funky part...everywhere I've found information on my laptop, it says I have a Conexant PCI sound card. If I'm wrong I would love for someone to tell me; better yet, a link to a download to actually be able to use the PCI sound card. Right now the card is under other devices and is listed as "PCI Device".
Now the Link I've provided from the conexant site will tell you this under PC Audio Support - Windows® 7,
"Conexant develops audio solutions that are used in a wide range of products including personal computers. We provide customized audio drivers to our customers, which include major computer manufacturers globally. At the request of these manufacturers, Conexant does not provide end-user support or drivers for PC audio products. If you have an issue with the audio configuration in Windows 7, please contact the manufacturer of your computer.
I tried calling HP support, but they wouldn't even answer my yes or no question... "Do you have audio drivers for my laptop that will allow me to hear sound?" Instead of saying yes or no, I was told that I needed to pay fifty to one-hundred dollars;....fifty dollars for a one time fee of telephone service, or one-hundred for the year. I even went as far as asking..."if you can't fix my problem, do I get a refund?" I was told no...so here I am. I've had problems before with hp...but this is rediculous, and whats worse is from the way things look, Connexant was told NOT to support their own product, or provide drivers for windows 7 by their customer(HP). I realize everyone is hurting for money, but **bleep**, this is a new low...

To answer your question, there are no windows 7 drivers for that model notebook. The notebook was designed for Windows 2000, Windows xp and windows vista.
This is one of the issues with upgrading the OS on a computer before checking the specs of the hardware.
I do understand the frustration but it would be more beneficial to revert back to the original OS that the notebook came with. That is what the HP support desk will have you do to prove functionality of the notebook should you have paid for the Diagnostic Support.
Although I am an HP employee, I am speaking for myself and not for HP. Clicking the "Kudos star" to the left is a great way to say thanks!
When your problem has been solved, accept the solution by clicking the "Accept as Solution" button to help other members in the future!

[Solved] grub2: file not found but booting fine

I just ran grub-mkconfig to update my grub.cfg because I installed E4rat. But now I have a problem: Every entry in grub2 can be booted and E4rat really boosted my boot process so actually everything is fine. But while grub2 is loading it says something like:
Grub 2 is loading...
Welcome to Grub 2!
error: file not found.
error: file not found.
error: file not found.
Now grub shows up and everything is as it should be. When I select Arch it again says "error: file not found." three times and continues with a normal boot process. So basically it's nothing that would brake my system but something seems not right and that's just a huge annoyance.
Here's my grub.cfg just in case:

I have the same error message as in the first post. "error: file not found" listed three times when I first choose Arch from the Grub2 menu. The solution linked to by the.ridikulus.rat would not seem to apply as I do not have the locales en* in /boot/grub/locale BTW, I am in the US. The system does boot though.
I just fixed this a few seconds ago and was going to post how, basically I just did "cp /boot/grub/locale/[email protected] /boot/grub/locale/en_US.mo" which seem to do the trick, the reason I didn't fix this sooner is the error only stays up for a very small fraction of a second making it hard to read.
# ls /boot/grub/locale
ast.mo da.mo fi.mo hu.mo it.mo nl.mo ru.mo uk.mo zh_CN.mo
ca.mo de.mo fr.mo id.mo ko.mo pl.mo sv.mo vi.mo
EDIT: I get the same three "error: file not found" messages when I boot Fedora (a multiboot system). This is with grub2 installed from Arch Linux.

[SOLVED] USB sound card problems and audio setup

I want to clarify and correctly set up my ThinkPad T61 sound system finally.
I'm running Arch64 + KDE.
There are two sound cards - the internal HDA Intel and external USB CM118.
aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: Set [C-Media USB Headphone Set], device 0: USB Audio [USB Audio]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 1: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: AD198x Analog [AD198x Analog]
Subdevices: 0/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 1: Intel [HDA Intel], device 1: AD198x Digital [AD198x Digital]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
First of all, why are there both analog and digital subdevices?
I just need playback and/or recording support for these applications: opera, firefox, skype, clementine, mplayer, vmplayer. As high quality as possible.
Per-application sound control would be nice but if that adds too much clutter, I could live without it. No need for audio streaming or any other luxuries.
All the applications should use the USB card whenever it's plugged in. The internal SC should take over when CM118 is unplugged.
The problem is that most of the time it doesn't work. For example, if I plug out the USB card and then run some application like Clementine or Firefox there would be no sound ("connection refused" in Clementine).
Here is my asound.conf:
defaults.pcm.card 0
defaults.pcm.device 0
defaults.ctl.card 0
Also kMix/amix should switch the master channel from HDA Intel Master to C-Media Master automatically. The only way to do this is to write some kind of script, right?
AFAIK the following audio components are installed: ALSA, OSS (for some unknown reason), Phonon, Gstreamer.
I guess I can uninstall OSS without worries as no one seems to need it (checked with "whoneeds").
What about that Phonon? Would it override the asoud.conf if I set default device there? Why there are so many different devices in the Phonon configuration list:
C-Media USB Headphone Set, USB Audio (Default Audio Device)
C-Media USB Headphone Set (USB Audio)
C-Media USB Headphone Set, USB Audio (IECblablabla)
hw:1,0
hw:1,1
default
Intel Analog
Intel Digital
blablalba
And that C-Media triplet for every USB port the CM118 has been plugged in.
Too much confusion! All that mess for just two different cards.
So what is the proper way of setting primary and secondary sound cards in this situation?
Thank you!

I am sorry for my very late response and the lack of structure in my post.
I did some investigation and found a rather acceptable workaround for one of my problems described below.
Here is the basic functionality I need:
1. Automatic (on the fly) switching to the external sound card when it's plugged in and automatic fallback to the integrated SC when usb is unplugged.
2. Automatic (on the fly) switching of the kMix's master channel according to the changes mentioned above.
As for the first problem, I found this udev rule:
KERNEL=="pcmC[D0-9cp]*", ACTION=="add", PROGRAM="/bin/sh -c 'K=%k; K=$${K#pcmC}; K=$${K%%D*}; echo defaults.ctl.card $$K > /etc/asound.conf; echo defaults.pcm.card $$K >>/etc/asound.conf"
KERNEL=="pcmC[D0-9cp]*", ACTION=="remove", PROGRAM="/bin/sh -c 'echo defaults.ctl.card 0 > /etc/asound.conf; echo defaults.pcm.card 0 >>/etc/asound.conf'"
This solution has some disadvantages but it is acceptible. If you know of any better solution, please tell me.
For the second problem, I found this script which uses qdbus org.kde.kmix /Mixers org.kde.KMix.MixSet.setCurrentMaster method to set the master channel. However, I think that constant monitoring for the usb SC being plugged is not very effective. So I thought appending the following code to the second line of the previous udev rule would do the work:
, RUN+="/usr/bin/qdbus org.kde.kmix /Mixers org.kde.KMix.MixSet.setCurrentMaster "ALSA::C-Media_USB_Headphone_Set:1" "Speaker:0""
But that results in some weird behaviour: master channel stays the same but there would be three new tabs in the kMix window now: USB Set", USB Set# and USB Set$.
Here's what log messages tell us:
07/14/12 12:25:13 PM localhost kernel [10889.749048] usb 3-1: new full-speed USB device number 13 using uhci_hcd

07/14/12 12:25:14 PM localhost mtp-probe bus: 3, device: 13 was not an MTP device
You see, the probe thing is running multiple times!
And here is an excerpt from udev debugger:
starting '/usr/bin/qdbus org.kde.kmix /Mixers org.kde.KMix.MixSet.setCurrentMaster '
'/usr/bin/qdbus org.kde.kmix /Mixers org.kde.KMix.MixSet.setCurrentMaster '(err) 'Could not connect to D-Bus server: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NotSupported: Unable to autolaunch a dbus-daemon without a $DISPLAY for X11'
'/usr/bin/qdbus org.kde.kmix /Mixers org.kde.KMix.MixSet.setCurrentMaster ' [2769] exit with return code 1
'/usr/bin/qdbus org.kde.kmix /Mixers org.kde.KMix.MixSet.setCurrentMaster '(err) 'Could not connect to D-Bus server: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NotSupported: Unable to autolaunch a dbus-daemon without a $DISPLAY for X11'
Some kind of X11 problem... And also happening twice! Why?
Running the setCurrentMaster method in terminal works very nicely, so the problem must be the way udev runs it.
One last thing - sometimes the usb SC automatically reconnects (disconnects and connects). I read somewhere that most probably the usb device makes the trouble, but maybe there are other possiblities?

Sound card Installer will not launch

Hello folks,
I've downloaded & tried to install a Roland UA-1EX USB sound card driver for OS 9 and the installer will not launch.
I already use the unit with OSX.
Usually these are VISE installers with a blue icon but this one decompresses into a white generic document.
I have had exchanges with technical support & whilst being helpful he swears the file is ok.
I used Filetyper to look at the file to see if I could correct the filetype & tried comparing to other similar installers but with no success.
I have a ResEdit to but don't know how to use it.
I went to the ftp site & downloaded it from there as opposed to the support site, still no joy.
I've tried different ways of decompressing & checked on my other computers but I can't get it to launch.
I get the feeling he is not actually loading it up on an OS machine but I haven't come out & said it...
Can anyone help?
here's a screenshot of the windows...

I found that download off a link on this page:
http://www.rolandus.com/products/productdetails.php?ProductId=743
It is full of warnings that it cannot be used or installed under Classic.
I must also give you the usual warning that any Mac software (Applications and some other files) unpacked on a PC will be damaged beyond repair. Final unpacking MUST be done on a Mac.
When I unpack the .sit file, I get an Installer vise 3.6 Lite Installer file, plus the other files shown in your windows. They do not have blank Icons.
Have you tried rebuilding the OS 9 Desktop File lately ? (Hold down Command and Option when the Finder is starting up.) This sometimes solves such problems.

Integrated sound card problems

Hi!
I own an MSI 845 Ultra-C motherboard. When I used my PC last night, I noticed there was no sound as I started windows XP. I tried playing MP3 with windows media, but an error message appeared, saying that there's a problem with my sound card.. either I don't have one.. or the one I'm using is not functioning properly. When I turned on my computer again this morning, my system was working properly... no more error messages whatsoever. But the problem recurred when I turned it on again earlier. What could be the cause of this? Could it be the integrated sound card on my mobo? This is the first time it ever happened. I checked my manual but found nothing there that could solve the problem.
Thanks in advance for your help.
:D

Hi!
I checked the BIOS, and under INTEGRATED PERIPHERALS, I saw AC'97 AUDIO which is set to AUTO... do I have to disable it? A friend of mine told me that If I do that, I won't be able to use the integrated sound card anymore. He also added that I should only do that if I decide to buy a PCI sound card. Is he correct in saying so? :D

Sound Card Problem, or Driver Problem? Games crash, when they didn't befo

Not sure what the problem is, but seems to be a sound problem of some sort. I have just re-installed Vista 64. And now when I try to play BF242, the game crashes before I even see any kind of gameplay. It also instantly crashes when I click on the audio options tab. I have installed the latest drivers from the site. I have even uninstalled them, and launched the game without any drivers, and the game runs perfectly fine, but only without sound.
But I've been able to play BF242 before, but it would evenutally crash after a while, but at least I was able to get into the game. So knowing that Ive been able to play before, and it played without any drivers, I dug up some drivers that I know I had working at one point when the game was playing. And it still crashes before it gets into the game.
So this makes me wonder, is this really a driver problem or a soundcard problem?
All sounds are perfectly fine elsware, music, movies, OS tones, web, etc. Crysis runs perfectly fine. Company of Heros Crashes, Quake Wars crashed about 0 mins into a game. Team Fortress 2 runs perfectly fine. Battlefield 2 instantly crashes.
Here's my specs:
Vista 64 Ultimate
Asus P5W DH Deluxe
Asus nVidia 8800 GTX
4gig Corsair XMS2 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel
Powersupply Antec True Power Trio TP3-550 550W ATX2V Power Supply with Three 2V Rails
Sound Blaster x-fi fatality (whatever the one that comes with the front computer interface)
Any help would be great. I'd hate to go buy a new sound card just to try it, unless I had a pretty good idea that it was the issue.

I think I found the problem. It was the physical card itself. I pulled my old Audialogy card out of my old machine, and swapped it. Now BF242 runs.
And mine never went to a black screen, and had to hard reset. It just dumped right to the desktop with a message "bf242.exe has stopped working."

Sound card problem - This device cannot start. (Code

hi all,
here's my situation...
i had a dell dimension 4400 that came with a sound blaster li've! value(wdm) sound card. i recently got a new motherboard/case etc. i transferred the sound card to my new system and i get a "This device cannot start. (Code 0)" error when i check device manager. for some reason, the game port on the sound card is working fine, but the audio processor part has the error. windows recognizes the card, but it won't use it. the card is a little over 3 years old.
now, i've read the forums, tried a clean install, registry tweaks, changed bios settings, even did a hd format. i also tried different pci slots. i have sp2 and all my other drivers are updated.
the new motherboard i have is a gigabyte 8ipe000g. i already contacted gigabyte, did not get much help. it has onboard ac97 audio. i disabled the onboard audio, but it did not seem to change anything. i have also tried windows drivers, the dell drivers from the cd, and the drivers from the creative website. none of them changed anything. i am now having trouble removing the drivers from add/remove programs. i keep removing them, but they still remain, even after using the wdm driver remover from the cd (a file named ctapxx.exe, or something similar). it's almost like windows is not actually installing the drivers when i install them. i'm wondering if the code 0 error is specifically driver related.
the first time i disabled the onboard audio and updated the drivers a weird thing happened. every time i started the computer up it would crash when it got to the desktop. it no longer does this for some reason, everything now starts up, but i have no audio. the sound card is the only device giving me problems on my system.
is there anything else i need plugged into the sound card? all i have is the sound card plugged into the pci slot, and an audio cord going from the card to my dvd dri've. is there anything that is supposed to go from the card directly to the motherboard? as far as i can tell, i have everything hooked up correctly. i don't understand why the game port works, but not the audio processor.
so, i have basically tried everything. seems like quite a few people get code 0 errors with some sort of hardware they have, but it usually seems like there is no definite solution.
does anyone have a similar problem, or a solution? hopefully i don't have to get a new sound card. i would just stick with my onboard audio, but i hear it can cause problems with games.

Since you have a new board it maybe a bios setting.
Is there IRQ conflict from the soundcard.
Maybe remove the card and unistall the software, use a tool "driver cleaner pro" to remove all creative files.
Check your mainboard manual on what pci slot that dont share, i hear slot 3 is the one to use, i use slot 5.
Fit the card and reinstall.
Best of luck.

Windows 7 64 bit Sound Card Problem

In January 2009, we had a 64 bit operating system problem http://forums.adobe.com/message/1015026#1015026. Our software, which was published using Version 6.5, was freezing on a customer’s computer on playing the first sound file, then if the sound file was by-passed, on displaying the first swf. The problem was eventually resolved by Mike Baker publishing our a6p file in Authorware 7, and this cured the fault. So we upgraded to Authorware 7.02 and since then no further problems ... until December 2010.
We launched our Italian Course late November and had a not dissimilar sort of problem reported by a customer. He's tried uninstalling & re-installing the software but the fault keeps re-occurring. The computer displays a "not responding" message. Debugging, we discovered that the message appears when trying to play the initial mp3 file (fixed bit rate) … the program does eventually continue but without playing the sound file. It then keeps hanging (there are thousands of sound files in our course), and none of the sound files play: text & pictures are displaying normally. Eventually the program freezes and has to be killed with ctrl+alt+delete.
The computer in question is a Dell Inspiron 580s, & the operating system Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit. I’m awaiting details of the sound card & confirmation that his drivers are up-to-date but I presume they will be (Windows 7 default is to keep drivers updated). I haven’t got the customer to carry out basic tests sound file tests yet, but he indicates no problems with Media Player or with iTunes.
Extras in our XTRAS folder include:-
AWMP3.X32
MIX32.X32
MIXVIEW.X32
NETFILE.X32
SWADCMPR.X32
VIEWSVC.X32
INETURL.X32
FLASHASSET/FLASHAST.X32
The database for our Italian course is now in ProgramData. (previous courses, database was in Program Files and run in XP compatible mode). We’re having problems with this location with Windows 7 64 bit … it is maintaining a copy in Virtual Store and updating the file there. No such problem with XP, Vista or Windows 7 32 bit. I see this as an unrelated problem. We got the customer to run the software in XP mode but the problem was not corrected.
We do have customers successfully running our software on Windows 7 64 bit operating system computers; we had a minor ODBC glitch reported recently from a 64 bit user.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Tom,
I concur with Steve that this is probably system-specific. A couple of things you may want to try:
1. Be sure you're using the Xtras that came with Authorware 7.02 and not 6.5. For example, I believe mixview.x32 and viewsvc.x32 were updated in Authorware 7.
2. Try making a little AW program with 4 or 5 buttons that each trigger an imported MP3 file, where each audio file has different output settings (e.g. mono vs stereo, 64kbps vs. 92 kbps, etc.). Package it up and send it to the Dell user to test it. You may stumble upon an audio output setting that works on that particular machine.

Sound card installed but not work

I've just reinstalled win xp and installed the creative drivers on the cd, rebooted the computer and was getting sound fine. I went ahead and installed some other drivers and software and now I'm getting no sound. I've go to the add hardware wizard and clicked on Creative SB Audigy (which has a yellow exlamtion point next to it) and clicked next and then I get this message:
Your computer's system firmware does not include enough information to properly configure and use this device. To use this device, contact your computer manufacturer to obtain a firmware or BIOS update. (Code 35)
This worked for me before (using the wizard to get the card working before I reinstalled win xp). I've also gone and updated my BIOS and I'm still having problems.
I've check to see if there were any IRQ conflicts through device manager and there are none but it showes that the Audigy card has the IRQ of 44.
I've also installed and reinstalled and tryied 'repair' of the drivers/software multiple times only to get nowhere and I've tried installing the driver updates off the site only to get messages saying that it can not find any sound cards installed.
I have win xp sp2

After the sound card driver install I installed Norton Internet Security and other small programs (firefox, spampal, ect...)
My computer is custom built:
P4 2.4GHz
Soyo P4X400 Dragon Ultra Platinum
VIA Chipset
BIOS is by Award went from the 2AA6 to 2AA7 revision
GB Ram
Windows XP SP2 installed on a 7GB partition
On board Audio is disable through the BIOS (have never used it since building the computer 2 years ago)
Ati Radeon 9800 pro
Ati HDTV Wonder
Drivers for both ATI cards where installed after the issue with the sound happend. Problem seemed to appear after Norton was installed.Message Edited by oobedoob on 09-2-2005 2:38 AM

PCI Sound Card Problems in MEGA PC

Added a new Sound Blaster Live 5.1 card in my PCI slot. I use a special audio program that creates 2 stereo outputs from that card.
I've had this card in my older PC and it works fine. When installed in MEGA PC PCI Slot one of the outputs has a low volume and the other is normal. Why?
I tried to use the stereo outs of the integrated sound card with my programand got the same problem. One stereo out has a much lower volume than the other.
I using Win 98SE/and Sound Blaster Live 5.1. I hope I can get some help or I plan on returning this unit to my local retailer.

Thanks for responding. I did try disabling the onboard sound via the BIOS. No change to the problem.
Even the onboard sound card has this problem when trying to use 2 stereo outs. I found I could balance the outputs by using the AV Rack application. You use it to control the volumes on each output channel. The problem is I can only decrease th louder channel's volume I can't increase the volume on the other and this is what I need to do.

Sound card problem: shpchp not found at boot
