Subject: Re: [H] SoundBlaster PCI 128 CT4730 & Auto Play Issues
is it possible the onboard audio is proprietary to compaq speakers ?
compaq'a and hp's usually make me regret working on them :'(
As you can see, I have not given up, yet. If there was some onboard
proprietary audio issue, they why would the SoundBlaster PCI 128 card not
install in any of the 3 PCI slots, and I did disable the onboard audio in
the BIOS before trying to install the sound card.
This computer is a prime example of why I do not use any CPU but Intel. I
can not afford to stock different motherboards etc. for two brands of CPU's.
Technology moves far too fast and they would get outdated even worse than my
minimum Intel stock now gets outdated. If it had been a Compaq using an
Intel CPU I would have changed the motherboard and not had all of these
issues. I realize that some of you may have had smooth sailing with name
brand computers, but they have been nothing but horror for me in my 8 years.
And to think the only hardware components that make a name brand computer a
name brand are its inferior motherboard and case. Once I replace these, it
is downhill from there.
Thanks,
