Got it figured out! Nichicon caps came in, and I replaced them. Voltage improved but were still weird, telling me the caps were in need of replacement anyway, but still no boot Was investigating the MOSFETs and was getting ready to desolder legs to test, and then the MOSFET just popped right off the …

I've got a Seanix Viper Board, Rev. 2.0 on the bench today, and thankfully it wants to live. I'm getting a repeated long beep, which Award BIOS beep code documentation tells me is RAM related. POST analyzer gets to Code C6, which is described as "External Cache Size Detection" Previous code is C1 -- …

I think replacing the capacitors in the VRM circuit is a good place to start. They can be dead, even if they are not bulged. I had few boards that did not POST initially and ran perfectly fine after capacitor replacement. Given the fact that the voltages take a good long while to stabilize, I …

..... So far, according to my POST card, the board doesn't make it to POST. Looks like it's being held in reset for some reason. ...... There is a Led on POST cards, which shows the status of the reset line. Held in Reset you would easily see: The Reset LED is on all the time. Normal behaviour is …

Measured voltages at the CPU socket - they are as follows: VCC2 -- Takes about 30 seconds to come up to 1.48v. VCC3 -- Takes about 5 seconds to come up to 1.19v. VSS -- No voltage detected. Seems like the time to get to a stable voltage is a problem. PSU voltages are stable from the connector as …

Good Morning! I'm currently trying to revive a P5A-B Super Socket 7 motherboard I've come across. So far, according to my POST card, the board doesn't make it to POST. Looks like it's being held in reset for some reason. Although it behaves the same with or without CPU, I've gone through and …

Good Afternoon! Bit of a weird question -- posting in this forum as it seems to be the closest fit, since its kind of old DOS software on newer hardware. If I'm in the wrong place, feel free to swat me on the hand and I'll move to a better location :) I'm doing some CD preservation, and I have a set …

From memory my STAC HDA datasheet describes the provision for the capture of the pc speaker beep and sending it to the audio codec line/spkr out, though its possible it could just be generating a beep separately on the line/spkr rather than directly routing (eg. pc speaker game fx/music) straight …

I have a Jetway J7F2 with a VT8237 audio controller (which uses the same MPXPLAY driver as the VT8231 though a different PCI device) and in the mixer in Linux there is a PC Beep volume control but it does nothing, PC speaker beeps still always come through the piezoelectric beeper on the …

Bug I've noticed: Hardware: HP T5710 w/ VT8231 Issue: With sbemu loaded, PC speaker audio no longer is mixed into the internal speaker/line out. Driver must be unloaded in order for PC speaker audio to function correctly. The T5710 is somewhat unusual in that it doesn't have an internal beeper, …

https://www.bttr-software.de/products/sbmix/ And for SBEMU, try /VOL5 instead of/VOL 5 I'll give this one a try! This seems like exactly what I'm looking for. I've tried /VOL5 and validated in the readback that it sets that value in sbemu, but no change in anything between /VOL1 to /VOL9 on my …

I just gave sbemu a whirl on a T5710, and it seems to work very well, and resolves the two major issues I had with viasbcfg and viafmtsr. I had two major sound quality issues that were a problem with VIASBCFG/VIAFMTSR -- - Poor FM sound quality in for example, monkey island 2. FM sound with SBEMU …

Your tool to set the mixer settings in DOS would definitley be useful if you are able to release a version of it. Thank you! Oops I missed this message. I am attaching this program (exe and srcs inside .zip file) . I called it "VIAS". I was using it to diagnose my issue with very poor FM quality on …
