It is all already done, but there is a "new" thing.
In Windows 2k it does not work also...
Could it be som kind of conflict between generic drivers that Windows
installs by itself ? I meant - between chipset driver and audio driver ?
WIndows bundled drivers are a bit of a disservice to system
owners, it would be better if MS would simply bundle as many
NIC drivers as possible then keep an updated list of chip
manufacturer driver URLS, a database to the full featured
drivers elsewhere. In other words, use the newest sound
driver, not the one from MS and not the one from ECS if you
can help it. I don't recall the sound on K7S5A at the
moment though, perhaps at Sis' website?
I amdit I am running out of ideas. My coleague, who solved any hardware
problem that other people ever could not, said that it might be
something wrong with motherboard.
Could be a logical bios problem but given that it does work
in Linux it's probably solvable... just a matter of figuring
out how. Often putting other cards in different slots,
updating the motherboard bios or changing the PCI latency
can help. Some try using APM instead of ACPI (Google for
how to do this, I don't recall but it might require a clean
OS install with ACPI disabled in the bios if possible to
disable it, or perhaps a windows installation command-line
arugument, aka switch?
Nobody else wanted to mess with this MB.
Now, after probing win2k, I know less then before.
Can't blame them, that board has historically been buggy and
had a habit of dying. Perhaps yours is a newer revision to
be doing as well as it is?
