Sound Card Problem

Yo homies,

whist listening to something on myspace (XML Player?) The computer froze and i had to manually restart it.

When windows booted back up, i am without sound and when i click on the 'delta control panel', it says 'device cannot be found'.

Tryed re-installing the software on a limb but thats done p*** all as expected.

any clues??

its an MAudio live delta something or other.

cheers in advance

Your computer has feelings. Stop listening to crappy music.


In seriousness, check all connections/drivers/look for damage all the usual things and get back to us.

can you try the card in another pc?

it might have just gone pop.

i think you need to buy a new pc man... it's the best solution to your problems..

well, its my friend computer.

he thinks he needs to buy a new motherboard now.

Does it work in another PCI slot? You'll most likely need to reinstall the drivers.

And I know it sounds stupid, but is the card pushed all the way in? Due to some of the crappy cases around, it's easy for PCI cards to not be fully slotted in, and work their way out.

Do other PCI devices (modems, network cards, anything) work OK? If yes, then he'd be a bit silly buying a new motherboard just for a sound card. Be a better bet buying an external USB or firewire sound card, unless he's planning an upgrade anyway.

yeah, thats what i would have thought.
