just got this mobo- ASRock 775i65G with a dual core pentium 2.8gig I've put my Geforce FX5700le 128 and creative soundblaster live 5.1 onto it, however i'm getting crackling and jumping with sound especially in conjunction with scrolling web pages/explorer pages or 3d games (but not CD playback) I never had the problem with my old via gigabyte and same card, which is why i think its the new mobo (settings) related? Is there a setting in bios that could help??? Any help and feedback would be much appreciated thanks
possibly, the build in onboard sound card could be interfering somehow, enter the BIOS and make sure the onboard sound is disabled then uninstall and reinstall your sound card drivers BTW: it may not be nessisary to uninstall and reinstall your sound card drivers, but if just disabling the onboard sound doesn't work, then try the drivers thing
I've checked the bios but found nothing pertaining to sound at all, although i know there is built in sound, i don't know how to access or unaccess it as the case maybe
download the manual from here it will tell you how to disable the onboard sound, if you don't understand it, i'll download it and tell you how to do it
I did a word search on the manual for all occurences of 'sound' and found one, but it had nothing to do with onboard sound, just internal audio connectors
on board AC97 audio is set to auto in bios, i'm gonna try disabling it and reinstalling the drivers like you say
yeah, i just dowloaded manual for you mobo, your in the right place, just disable it and it may work straight away Edit: just change highlighted to: Disabled
Thanks for ya help m8, i've disabled it then reinstalled drivers, but it's the same however i've managed to get my music sequencer to play without skips and garbledness, by changing the driver it uses from -DX SB live! audio- to -MME SB live! audio- At a cost of higher latency of course but this must be an indicator to the root of the problem, because the -DX SB live! audio- and -DX primary- drivers garble and skip, the MME doesn't But and its a big butt :doh: I can't enable MME driver for the system, only available global driver for the system is the -DX SB live! audio- (B 800) Is there some latency settings in bios that could affect this sound problem i wonder?
have you uninstalled the AC/97 drivers possibly, each BIOS is mobo specific, have a look at your BIOS (obviosly remembering that you can reset the BIOS to it's default settings, if neccisary
Nope, theres no ac/97 drivers installed, i checked the device manager and the add/remove panel, i'm gonna have a mess around with latency settings in bios see if that works
