All,
This has been a couple week effort to upgrade my a-little-older NVIDIA nForce2 Chip set Based, AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2800 PC... I've added a DVD Drive so I could load Vista only to find that my previous Video Board wouldn't support Glass and other nice Vista extras... Yesterday I added a Radeon X 1650 Pro AGP that works like a dream...
My issue now is that I have NO Sound... it's odd... when I first loaded Vista I had no sound... then after my first download Update I had sound... now after multiple crashes, reboots, restarts its gone again... when I play a CD it shows that its working, all hardware views show its working… but there is no sound at this point… When I view my Driver list for my sound device I see 12 drivers from dmy.sys to OpenAL32.dll.. I have no idea which one of these is applicable to my situation??? Any ideas would be helpful??
Thanks,
Terry
PS - A Terry Tidbit for you... Vista Pushes your CPU.. it gets hot... I believe at this point that many, maybe all, my sudden reboots were do to thermal issues... I opened my case.. again... removed my CPU fan, cleaned the heat syncs and fan... put everything back together again and say for my audio issues this baby is working like a charm now... silly maybe but I read where many who have AMD chips are experiencing tons of reboots too... take a second to look at your fan etc... it may help you too!
