Four, sound card
Common faults 1: Sound card silent causes this fault common cause:
1. The driver is output to "mute" by default. Click the sound small icon (small beat) in the lower right corner of the screen, the volume adjustment slider, the lower side has the "Mute" option, click the front check box, clear the right number in the box, you can pronounce it.
2. The sound card has conflicts with other cards. The solution is to adjust the system resources used by the PNP card, so that each card does not interfere with each other. Sometimes, open "Device Management", although there is no yellow exclamation mark (conflict mark), the sound card is not sound, but there is also a conflict, but the system has not been checked.
3. After installing the Direct X, the sound card cannot be sounded. Note This sound card is not good to Direct X compatibility and need to update the driver. 4. A voice is silent. Check if the sound card to the audio cable of the speaker has a disconnection.
Common faults 2: too much noise issued by the sound card
This kind of fault has occurred:
1. The card is not correct. Since the chassis manufacturing accuracy is not high enough, the outer baffle manufacturing or installation of the sound card cannot be combined with the motherboard expansion slot. The visual sound card "Golden Finger" is misplaced with the extended groove reed. This phenomenon is on the ISA card or PCI card, which belongs to a common fault. Tongral correction can be used.
2. Active speaker inputs the Speaker output of the sound card. For active speakers, it should be connected in the Line OUT end of the sound card. It outputs the signals that have not passed on the sound card, and the noise is much smaller. There is only one output on the sound card, which is line out or the speaker's jumper is determined by the jumper. The default mode of the manufacturer is often Speaker, so you have to pull the sound card to adjust the jumper.
3. The driver comes with Windows is not good. When installing a sound card driver, select "Drivers provided by the manufacturer" instead of "Windows Default Drivers" If you install it with "Add New Hardware", choose "From Disk Install" instead of from the list box select. If you have installed Windows self-contained drivers, you can choose Control Panel → Systems → Device Management → Sound, Video and Game Controller, and Point Division, Select Properties → Drivers → Change Drivers → from Disk installation". In this case, insert the disk or disc that came with the sound card, load the driver provided by the manufacturer.
Common fault three: sound card can't "plug and play"
1. Try to use the new driver or alternative. The author once had a sound card, how to install the driver in Windows 98 with the original drive disk, have to replace it with the Creative SB16 driver, everything is normal. Later, upgraded to Windows Me, and did not work again with Windows 2000 (full version) The sound card driver comes normally.
2. The top pain problem is that the plug-and-play device is detected under Windows 9X but the self-proposition helps you install the driver. This driver is not used, and later, every time you delete it, you will repeat this. Problem, and cannot be solved with "add new hardware". The author discloses an unique trick: enter the Win9xinfother directory, delete the * .inf file about the sound card, then restart, use manual installation, this is 100% of the good test, the lives of liveless sounds ... Of course, modify registration The table can also achieve the same purpose.
3. Do not support the installation of the PNP sound card (also suitable for PNP sound cards that cannot be installed in the PNP mode described above): Enter "Control Panel" / "Add new hardware" / "Next", when prompted "Do you need to search for new hardware? "When" No "is selected, then" Sound, Video, Video and Game Controller "is selected from the list, and install it directly to select the sound card type.
Common fault four: playing CD silent
1. It is completely silent. Use Windows 98 "CD Player" to put the CD silent, but the "CD player" works fine, this shows that the audio line of the optical drive is not connected. Use a 4-core audio cable to connect to the analog audio output of the CD-ROM and CD-I on the sound card, this line will come with the CD-ROM. 2. There is only one channel. The optical drive output port is generally left and right two-wire signal, the middle two lines are ground lines. Since the 4 line color of the audio signal line is generally different, the corresponding interface can be found on the color of the line. If there is only one interface or each interface on the sound card, it does not match the audio cable. You have to change the junction order of the audio cable, usually only two lines of it.
Common fault five: PCI sound card appears
Generally, the PCI graphics card uses Bus Master technology to enlarge the background noise when the hard disk read and write, mouse movement, etc. in the PCI bus. Workaround: Turn off the PCI graphics card's bus master function, replace it with an AGP graphics card, and displace the PCI sound card.
Common fault six: no normal recording
First check if the microphone is inserted into other jacks, secondly, double-click the small speaker, select "Properties → Recording" on the menu to see if the settings are correct. Next, "Conflue Devices" and "Line Input Devices" are adjusted in Control Panel → Multimedia → Devices to set them to "Use". If "Multimedia → Audio" is gray, it is a bad, of course, not there is no rescue, you can try "Add New Hardware → System Equipment" to add "Isa Plug and Play Bus" , The index will restart after the sound card is installed with the card tool software.
Common fault seven: Unable to play WAV music, MIDI music
Can't play WAV music, is more rare, often because of "audio devices" under "multimedia" → "device", disabled.
Unable to play the MIDI file may have the following three possibilities:
1. Early ISA sound card may be due to the incompatibility of the 16-bit mode and 32-bit mode causing the MIDI playback, and the way to install the software wavefront should be resolved.
2. Today's popular PCI sound card use waveform synthesis technology if the MIDI part cannot play, it is likely because you do not load the appropriate wavefront sound library.
3. The MIDI channel in Windows Volume Control is set to the silent mode.
Common fault eight: PCI sound card is not working properly under Win98
Some users reflect, everything is normal during the sound card driver installation, and there is no device conflict, but below Win98 is unable to speak or other faults. This phenomenon usually appears on the PCI sound card, check which PCI slot of the PCI sound card in the installation process. Some friends are inserted by dissipating the sound card in the PCI slots away from the AGP slot, close to the ISA slot. The problem often appears here because Windows98 has a bug: Sometimes it can only recognize the sound card inserted in PCI-1 and PCI-2 slots. On the ATX motherboard, the two PCI-2 PCI is PCI-1 and PCI-2 (just opposite to some ATX motherboards, close to ISA is PCI-1), so if you do not install the PCI sound card is correct On the slot, the problem will be generated.
