CD sound and motherboard
Lieven Vanoirbeek wrote:
Hello I bought a new PC with a PC DDR266 Systemboard (Socket A M811 series)for an Athlon XP 2.4. I installed Win2k Pro on it and everything works fine except I have no sound from any CD or DVD. I can hear all the sounds in Windows but nothing from the DVD-player! There is no "sound-cable" between my motherboard and the DVD-player. Is it possible that the sound goes trough the IDE-cable???? I'm not really an expert in these cases.... :-) Thank you Lieven When you say 'nothing from the DVD-player', do you mean the front earphone plug or what? And yes, the music is being read through the IDE cable to whatever program your using to play the CD. I believe in most cases it is converted to a wave configuration and then play through your sound card. I know the wave volume controls the music volume on my system. |

I cannot hear anything trough my speakers from the DVD, Windows sounds no problem.... I must admit I have no experience with Win2k Pro, but since it shares much of the WinXP code, I would think there should be some similarities. Are you using the Windows Media Player, or some other program? |

Hook up the 4pin (3 wire usually) connector between the CD/DVDplayer and the MB sound connector (CD1). Going over the IDE cable uses up processor and PCI bandwidth and also requires support. -- Abit KT7-Raid (KT133) Tbred B core CPU @2400MHz (24x100FSB) http://mysite.verizon.net/res0exft/cpu.htm |
