xxkbxx Posted December 25, 2005 Report Share Posted December 25, 2005 I built my PC today, and after loading all drivers and update my sound is not working at all. I have an ASUS A8N-SLI board with onboard audio - and windows device manager is showing that all the drivers are installed.If anybody knows of a fix it would be great! (i learned that I got Call of Duty 2 for Christmas and I realllllly want sound to go with it tomorrow!) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IEatHardDrives Posted December 25, 2005 Report Share Posted December 25, 2005 Hmmmmm you installed all the drivers did the sound work before you updated the drivers? try reinstalling the sound drivers, if I was you I would save to get a sound card onboard sound is weak it cant give you that strong bass, and games sound muddy and onboard sound uses your cpu up.

Honda_Boy Posted December 25, 2005 Report Share Posted December 25, 2005 if you really want it to sound good get a Creative X-Fi. As for your prob make sure everything is plugged in the right jacks. Make sure your speakers are plugged in and turned on. Double click the little speaker icon on the task bar and make sure all outputs are turned up. Wave and Master are the 2 you need to max.I got CoD2 the day it came out. It's a great game but I wish Infinity Ward had kept all the additions Gray Matter had added (I keep hittin the sprint button and nothing happens ). I wish the levels were a bit longer too. Have fun with it man. I'm gettin an MX518 mouse and a wireless network card my self.Merry Christmas and enjoy your new game........tomorrow...............CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

IEatHardDrives Posted December 25, 2005 Report Share Posted December 25, 2005 Man Creative X-Fi everyone aint made of money I was thinking along the line of a Creative Sound Blaster Audigy2 ZS, Creative Sound Blaster Audigy4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
xxkbxx Posted December 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2005 I'll just pull the sound blaster out of my old PC (cheap AND easy)Merry Christmas Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Honda_Boy Posted December 25, 2005 Report Share Posted December 25, 2005 i was jsut saying if he REALLY wanted it to sound REAL good. Using a card no matter what just about gives you a small performance boost over using integrated. Mine sure did. BF1942 played like crap with integrated. Every explosion there was a slowdown.

xxkbxx Posted December 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2005 I just popped in the Sound Blaster and deactiviated onboard audio - now it worksJust to let you guys know - AMD X2 3800 w/ 2GB RAM is fricken sweet!Photoshop opens in seconds, programs don't lag, and I can multitask like crazy!

Honda_Boy Posted December 25, 2005 Report Share Posted December 25, 2005 aaaaawwwwwwwww forget you. I want a new system too but I don't want an X2. I'm a gamer. If I had loads of cash I build an X2 system for Linux and work and build an FX-57 system (they should make an FX-57 X2) for games. I NEED MONEY!!!!!!!!! (my job sucks)I might end up with a new Asus or Epox nForce4 SLI mobo for Xmas so i'll have to save up for at least a 3500+ Venice and a 6800GS Video card and revamp the Sidewinder. I might just have to spring for XP Pro while I'm at it.Hurry up Christmas! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've noticed a pattern when I get my paycheck - I spend half of it at work!I'll let you know how my X2 and 6800GS do on Call of Duty - I just got done partitioning my hard drive so I'm ready to load Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Honda_Boy Posted December 25, 2005 Report Share Posted December 25, 2005 well I didn't get the Mobo so it's gonna be awhile before I get a new system. But i did get some pretty good loot. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
