xp Audio infected /warbled

[jud1255]

I have lost some audio and some what is left although not all is warbled / distorted

eg when I connect thru control panel / sounds and audio devices properties.

in sounds some play and some don’t eg

Start windows and windows logon is working ok

Where as new mail, device connect does not work at all.

Most saved mp3 are affected though not all

Cd’s original are affect though don’t seem as bad



My system/pc is asus a8v deluxe with onboard sound using realtek ac97

Radeon 9250

Recently Bios upgraded from 1014 to 1017 to enable the extra 2 gig ram now 3gb in total.

This as far as I know is the only thing change as I went from

2x 512mb rams in the blue slots

to 2x 512mb + 2x 1gb in the black slots

140gb ide hdd with 64bit xp pro

and 160 gb sata hdd split into 2x 80’s

80gb using win xp pro 32 bit and the other 80gb used for storage

could the upgrade of bios upset the audio

I have reformatted the 80gb sata and reinstalled xp 32bit realtek ac97 etc

Updated the Via 4 in 1 files and its still the same.

Any suggestions apart from chucking through the window.

No, you only need to bin the on-board-crap-imitation-for-a-sound-card.

Even Asus ain't adverse to using "cheap" components.


Try and find the Realtak ALC850 Avance AC'97 drivers.
