I want to murder my sound board.

MitchRapp · Nov 25, 2009, 12:03 AM

Scenario:

Just upgraded video card (HD3200XT --> 5750)
Just updated ATI 9.9 to 9.11

Everytime I boot up my computer, my sound drivers are gone. I have to manually install them everytime I boot.

that's basically it. Driving me NUTS.
The drivers are SoundMAX 6.10.2.6030
<--- Specs over there

I'm about to throw my computer out the window! Does ATI 9.11 have compatibility issues with this sound crap I should know of??

Still driving me nuts. Still no sound when I reboot or wake up from sleep mode

MUST KILL AUDIO BOARD.

ADI and soundmax websites proved absolutely useless...

Either you need to try different drivers or reinstall Windows all else fails contact Sound Card manu or replace board.

Hi MitchRapp,

Have you tried disabling the "ATI High Definition Audio Device" in your Device Manager and restarting?
I've had problems with this enabled alongside my Soundcard.

Give that a shot and see if the situation improves!

basically installed old sound drivers and now it's fine ....

I just recently resumed fraggin' noobs in Team Fortress 2 (hehe) and now my game freezes my entire computer randomly with very loud NOISES

like BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ and very very LOUD

Totally related to my sound drivers, I know it.
gah.

i hate ADI/Soundmax onboard.. i've quite frequently had similare issues... it's just terrible driver and overall support. Reason i've always stuck with realtek motherboards, yes the onboard audio is a major factor in my choice of motherboard i get.

I'd suggest removing/disabling the onboard sound completely and seeing if things work properly..

if so, then perhaps if you can getting digital speakers ... logitech make a set of really decent cheap usb speakers that has it's own audio controller. I think you can pick them up for 15 bucks.

Digital USB speakers... haven't thought of that .... are they good for gaming? I'm currently using some pretty cool Logitech ones

Actually wasn't expecting much but presented with vista/win7 and those speakers, they work VERY well, nothing amazing but quite surprised myself when i played with them.
