hello i have the sb awe64 ct4520, and it turn very silent (have to turn volume all the way up to hear somthing) that both in win98se and dos. i recap but same issue any ideas?
Try using a different jack (green or black). One of them is amplified, the other is not, and I forget which is which.
Also make sure the volume is all the way up in MIXERSET (though it should only affect DOS; Windows has its own volume control).

I think you may have uploaded the wrong image, no red circle.
the square chip in the red square. correct people expect to see circle

I would be checking the capacitors and resistors that connect to the sound out ports before I suspect a dead IC.
To me it sounds like a bad capacitor.
ive already recap all capacitors near the exits. what else should i try?
believe it or not the problem wasnt the awe64. it was a cold solder in the -12v cable from the psu when i redo the point the card works ok. what a bummer
