Hello,
I am having problems getting my Compaq Deskpro EP Series 6400 sound going under 7.1. I copied the driver information Windows 98 was using before I bleemed the drive completely. Mandrake picked up the same driver, irq, and DMA settings that Windows had, yet it doesn't work. To be honest, I have no idea what the sound device actually is. Looking up on Compaq's these are what they had listing as the Windows drivers for this model: Compaq/ADI SoundMax Integrated Digital Audio for Win 98SE/2000 Compaq/ADI SoundMax Integrated Digital Audio for Windows 9x Creative Labs Encore DXR3 HW-DVD Software WDM Audio Update for Windows 98SE Windows 98 was using ESS 1689 or 1869 . .I can't remember off the top of my head and Mandrake picked up what Windows 98 had. I am curious if it would be better to just go pick up a cheap approved PCI sound card and call it a game or if someone might have some suggestions. I tried every setting in the Drake sound area to no available. ( assuming making a change then clicking TEST should work instantly without some other action) I would get device busy or other error messages. Am I doing something wrong or is the sound device simply not supported? Thanks for any information. Phil |
