Re: Crystal sound chip

If you want to I can prepare a bootdisk image with short manual and batchfile for the BIOS flash for you. It might be worth a shot to see whether onboard audio returns. That's very kind ! :-) Were can I look, see a number to be certain I have the right motherboard. I mean all things point towards …

Re: Crystal sound chip

[...] Yes I see a big HP logo during startup. I cant tell if someone mangled with it because i bought it secondhand for a very cheap price (20 eu). And for that money it's still a great system :-). Or the've tried to flash a newer version and it failed or might be a cap or some faulty hardware. I …

Re: Crystal sound chip

Sorry, you are right, I just remembered... There is indeed no option on this board's BIOS to disable the onboard audio. No jumper either, it is always enabled... Same goes for the onboard video (iirc you only have the option to choose which video adapter to initialize first (AGP or PCI, whereas AGP …

Re: Crystal sound chip

If the chip is not detected either as an unknown device or something like it in device manager and there is no option to enable or disable it in BIOS, things are not looking good . To be sure, please download and run pcilist.exe under Windows and post a screencap from sound card info . Link http:// …

Re: Crystal sound chip

You only have a single option in the BIOS iirc, and that is to enable/disable the integrated audio. Added some images from my Bios. Im stuck for now. https://i.pinimg.com/236x/02/68/65/026865b43ee3502b61d42574c8b07aa3.jpg https://i.pinimg.com/236x/08/34/d5/0834d553dddf788895fdaea8dae6675f.jpg …

Re: Crystal sound chip

Isn't the 4280 dependent on the AC'97 codec it's paired with? Have you tried installing drivers for that? Ill try jaZz_KCS suggestion. But never thought it would be such a hassle. Thanks for your suggestion 👍 But then again reviving 25year old stuff is fun! IIRC those drivers I posted are the VIA …

Re: Crystal sound chip

This chip isnt bad at all. I do have a Vectra VEi8 HP MITAC OEM board as well. It should work with the drivers I have attached below. It will also install a TSR for Soundblaster compatibility in the autoexec.bat (VIAUDIO.com). In addition to that I have also added the VIAFMTSR.com for full FM sound …
