Sound problem
 

i have an intel i810 chipset and an AC'97 decoder.....my OS is mandrake 9.0
the trouble is that at startup there is an error that says something about CPU overflow.........basically i cant get a squeak out of the damn box.......i know i have to have the alsa drivers installed and i thinki do but still theproblem persists....could ne1 help me out!!!!!

I never have had good sound out of a built in chip, even if I could get it to work.

The SB Live is almost too cheap not to get now and has so much less noise.

Ah, but then, how would we learn? :D

I'm trying to get an onboard going...

...and I'm totally lost.

Curses upon those C Media people! :D

Re: Sound problem
 

You might want to try editing your Bios and turning off Plug and Pray.

This worked for mine.

Mandrake 9.1

back at you:)
 

could you help me with that also.......how would i do that in KDE or GNOME for that matter.......and how in the world do i check my BIOS

BIOS settings: Whatever the mobo specs say. Google for your mobo

Lots of times its hitting the delete key on the speaker beep.

It may/probably will be different for a brand name box
