Subject: RE: [H] SoundBlaster PCI 128 CT4730 & Auto Play Issues
I had something similar to this happen to me, I ended up rolling back a
bois
update and the on board sound worked great
How was it now working? Did the drivers not install properly, thus not
letting sound devices such as Windows Media Player play audio OR did the
audio play but no line audio signal sent to the amplified speakers? In my
situation everything appears to be working but there is no audio being sent
to the speakers or to headphones if I plug those in. Being a Compaq (one
owner etc.) I have no reason to think the BIOS has been flashed, but perhaps
I could flash the BIOS if you feel this may help. Belarc Advisor did tell me
it is an AsusTeK A7N8X-LA motherboard.
With help from the Microsoft site I found that my auto play problem was a
bad setting in the Registry. I wonder why out of hundreds of clean installs
of XP just this one set the auto play to 0 instead of 1 (0 for no auto play
and 1 for auto play). Now auto play works along with the other sound
features, and yes, the proper sound device is showing as default and nothing
is muted.
Thanks,
Chuck
