No sound or modem on Presario 7594
Got this system from a friend. Was all OEM, 566 Celeron, 64 mg ram,
ESS Allero onboard audio, modem has part number MDM 56K 2076-001. The monitor jack was sheared off at the board (broken clean like it was never put there, never seen any thing like it before). I replaced the jack and plug on the KDS monitor that came with the system. Fired it up and found it loaded with viruses so I did a QuickRestore. Installed a NIC and transfered my files from my old 133 and 486 Prolinea. All seemed OK. Tried playing some games and discovered I had no sound. Previous owner said it worked before. Everything was OK in Device Manager. I tried uninstalling all of the audio devices including the Wave Device for Modem. After reboot Windows found New Hardware, all audio devices and Unknown PCI Card. I then removed the Modem and NIC (only 2 PCI devices)and physically took them out and removed the Unknown PCI Card. I rebooted, and no new hardware was found. I shut down and put the modem back in and Windows found it as Unknown PCI Card. I tried removing it and manually installing the modem. Windows still finds Unknown PCI Card and the manually installed modem is working. Removed the modem and installed another PCI V.90 modem. Windows found and installed it fine along with the Wave Device this time and it works fine. Still no sound or yellow bubbles of death in Device Manager. I have installed all of the ROM upgrade and the ESS upgrades. I don't really want to install a sound card since I plan on installing a 3D graphics card and a vidio capture card which along with the NIC and modem would use up the 4 PCI slots. I have seen a USB video capture unit, but it needs a 2 gig processor. How much larger CPU will the machine take. If I get close maybe the USBVC will work with out a full 2 gig (but I doubt it). |
