Onboard sound not working

[Alan00000]

I just took out my sound card and then i turned the pc on and i cant get any sounds to work what do i do next?

Try doing this..

Go into your BIOS (When you restart your computer, listen for a beep, and shortly after the motherboard POSTs (That's what the beep is, a signal that it POSTed OK.), tap the DEL(ete) key (It may be different depending on your motherboard, but it usually shows the key for entering the Setup.)

Now search through the BIOS. Then try to find something related to onboard devices.

Then in that menu somewhere will be some information about sound devices. It'll probably be set to "[DISABLED]". All you need to do is navigate to highlight it, hit enter, and change it to ENABLED.

Sorry if it's not as helpfully detailed, but I don't know what BIOS you have, and can barely remember every menu options/names, and areas of my own..

Stop messing with your PC. You have had nothing but problems with it since you got it. Either you have no idea what you are doing, or you got a crappy busted PC. It's starting to sound like it's YOU though. Either way, all this messing around with it is going to void your warranty if you are not careful, so just stop, and return it.

I am messing with it too much i think. + i dont know what im doing lol

 

[Unfocused]

Why are you messing with it?

 

[Alan00000]

Why are you messing with it?

I dont know. Should i reinstall windows xp home and hope that games dont restart my pc anymore when i try and play them.

Just TAKE IT BACK before you end up with a smoking pile of plastic / metal, that can't be returned.

You don't know what you are doing. That is clear. So use you warranty and get it fixed / replaced by people that do. I build PC's a LOT. I could walk you through all your repairs / etc. But I won't waste my time. It would take too long, and you don't seem to get the basics yet. TAKE IT BACK.

 

[giant384]

one question though....WHY DID YOU EVEN TAKE OUT YOUR SOUND CARD????

DO THIS, IT MAKES THE MOST SENSE

LOL @ the subtle condescension. Well done.

 

[Shasta]

It's not that subtle, nor is it meant in an offensive way. But it sure beats pussy-footing around with "umm, it might be time to take it back maybey, a professional might have more luck, are you sure that you plugged it in properly...". It saves time for him and us, he clearly has no idea what he is doing, and it will guarantee a positive result for him. It's the best, honest, suggestion I could give to him.

Ok I talked to the tech guy pretty nice guy he said that they are going to send me a memory tester to see if my memory is bad . If it is tested bad they will send me new memory or a new graphics card if its a GPU problem.

Question? Is there a website i can download a memory tester and do it myself rather than wait for them to send me one in a email. \\

If nothing works after they send me a new memory or card i will simply return it for a full refund.

I didnt want it to come down to this cause i love playing everygame at max settings. Man playing LOST COAST at highest settings and still maintain a 300fps is insane.... thanks guys for the help .

300fps? Err.... 80fps on max is impressive. 300fps sounds like bullshit, especially on that system. Besides, the human eye thinks that anything going faster than 22fps is fluid motion. That's why movies are done at 24fps, and TV at 25i (or 29.97i for you NTSC yanks!). Computer games put out a little more for those times that you are moving the view all over the place quickly, to keep that smoother. But 300fps would be not only a waste of frames because you would never move the mouse fast enough to use it, but most games have a fps cap of say, 100fps, to stop the game wasting resources that could be used elsewhere.

But forgetting all that, you are trying to tell us that your system can re-render every model, every texture, every NPC, everything in the game at their highest quality 300 times every second. It's a good system, but not that good. Not even close.

Please just take it back for a new one, or a refund.

ok they sent me a email back saying to take one of the 1gig sticks of memory out , so i did and i havent had any problems yet , no restarts after playing a bunch of games so it might be fixed i'll keep playing and see what happens.

I'm just telling you guys what fps i get in game after i type cl_showfps 1 its keeps a 299fps most of the time what does this mean??

what is your defintion of maxed? also i like net_graph 1 better

Woot getting progress. Just wait for them to send you whatever. There is a memory testing program (memtest86) but you have to boot to it etc.

Everyone sees different. There is no 25fps or 60fps max to our eye sight. Although whatever FPS his PC is dishing out he will be limited to how fast his monitor can display it (refresh rate for CRTs and response time for LCDs). Pilots can identify objects that they may see for only a fraction of a second. Our eyes are very sensitive to light.

Of course not. I didn't say there was a "max limit to our eyesight". I said that the human eye sees a sequence of pictures one after the other that are coming any faster that about 22 pictures per second, and decides they are one fluid "movie", and not a series of pictures.

So any pictures from say, a TV or computer screen, coming at a rate of more than 22fps, seems like motion, and not lots of pictures. I was just establishing the minimum fps people need to think something is in motion.

 

[Alan00000]

I think its safe to say its fixed i simply took 1 memory stick out restarted the computer played bf2 for about 4-5 hours no restart, then put the other stick in a different slot . everything seems to be fine now .

I heard something somewhere...sometime..someplace...that it was different while playing a video game.

Meaning, when watching a movie, 24FPS is fine, and doesn't feel choppy (except sometimes in the theater I notice it)
Whereas in a video game, 24FPS is a lot more noticeable, and you need a higher FPS to make it feel like smooth motion. Around 40-50 does it for me in games.

Exactly. 40-50 is fine. 300 is a load of crap, and would be a waste of time IF his PC could produce that. Which it can't. Either he is reading a counter wrong, the counter itself is wrong, or he is full of crap.

Video games are different, because you can move the view quickly and suddenly, and to ensure a really smooth experience, it's best to add more frames so the motion seems much more closely stitched together, rather than having the individual frames (that blend together to give the appearance of motion) spaced too far apart, giving a stuttering effect.
