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
After all attempts to install a SB PCI 128 failed, I bought a SB Audigy SE
Model SB0570 and it worked. My 8+ years of experience tells me that name
brand motherboards are not always impossible, but seldom easy. This is not
like the first time I have dealt with the name brand dog and pony show.
Y'all may slam me for damning them, perhaps even take up for them, but 8+
years causes me to react according to my experiences. I know I would not
have had to go out and buy a different sound card if it had been one of my
custom builds. That SB PCI 128 would have took to the motherboard like a
duck taking to water. To repeat, I had tried the PCI 128 in each of the 3
PCI slots, as the only card in a PCI slot, so it being in the wrong slot
could not have been an issue. With a name brand all the slots are the wrong
slot because they are on the wrong motherboard. But as many of y'all say,
"That is just me" when disagreeing with my opinion of name brand computers.
If I follow my conscience and stick with real computer, real parts work. My
stance saves me money. Although you may not speak up here, I strongly feel
many of y'all have had the same problems getting things to work with the
motherboards in name brand computers.
