if your board is a biostar i did just check the manual again, the speaker on the front header is only for error code beeps and doesnt output sound from the audio system, so its probably irrelevant to your problem, as soggi said try the realtek AC97 drivers, one thing i will say is they can be a …

theres probably not much point installing linux unless you plan to use it on that, you can plug the card in with win 10 and should still be able to check the hardware ID in device manager, googling the ID will help finding a compatible driver, when ive got some time ill dig my card out, there's …

it lists your model under "HAUPPAUGE_TUNER" so the phillips card may just be a rebranded Hauppauge wintv card, or at least compatible with some of the old wintv drivers, i dont have my card on hand so cant try it out, if you have any luck with any of the drivers let us know :) if you can plug the …

I have a S370 board (M6VLR, Via C3 600, 128MB RAM) with the onboard sound chip VIA VT1612A and had installed Win 98. The onboard sound drivers (Via sound system/Avance) get installed without a fuss. However, the problem is that there is absolutely no sound output. Tried doing a clean install as …

Weird. DOOM didn't give me any error. i think its mainly on higher speed cpu's or later motherboards, what motherboard cpu are you using?, could be you're just one of the lucky ones that managed to get it working without problems with a certain combo of hardware. its only in pure dos tho it has …
