mij Posted November 28, 2014 Author Posted November 28, 2014 I have a headset here and plugging that in the front I can just about hear him - that is the chap in the video. Plugging the speakers in the front gives me mains hum and it amplifies that talking to just understandable speech. How ever it does it through one side of the headphones or one speaker. That is mono. So it is processing the audio, it's the settings that are incorrect. jim Quote
Plastic Nev Posted November 28, 2014 Posted November 28, 2014 Hi Jim, unfortunately I am not familiar with the VIA sound systems at all, and can find little in the way of settings instructions. If you could show us some screen shots of various control panel windows it might help. If a simple setting in the Realtek system can make things work, there surely must be something similar in the VIA system. Nev. Quote Need help with your computer problems?

mij Posted November 29, 2014 Author Posted November 29, 2014 I agree with you Nev. Playing around with the insertion jacks makes it look like a mono/stereo thing very similar to the realtek answer. I could show you an onscreen image of the audio display page but I do not know how to do it as in a screen dump. jim Quote
DSTM Posted November 29, 2014 Posted November 29, 2014 Hi Nev. I would be trying Via audio codecs. http://www.via.com.tw/en/products/audio/codecs/ac97-codecs.jsp Quote Confidence, is the feeling I get, moments before I stuff something up.
mij Posted November 29, 2014 Author Posted November 29, 2014 Hi Nev. I would be trying Via audio codecs. http://www.via.com.tw/en/products/audio/codecs/ac97-codecs.jsp I found that site using google yesterday but did not know what was awry so did not download anything. jim Quote
Plastic Nev Posted November 29, 2014 Posted November 29, 2014 Thanks DSTM for that link. :D I looked at the link myself and with that one there are two choices, however I think the first would be the one to try Jim. See how that goes first, and if still no good, you shouldn't come to grief trying the second. I am short of time right now, however I will post tomorrow how to post screen shots on here, 'tis a little complicated at first, but once you have done one it becomes easier. Nev.

mij Posted December 1, 2014 Author Posted December 1, 2014 Thanks for replying folks. I looked at the link myself and with that one there are two choices, however I think the first would be the one to try Jim. I have looked at the page mentioned and I was out of my depth - the mention of raid and hyperian etc. threw me as I have heard these terms but don't know if my computer uses them at all. See how that goes first, and if still no good, you shouldn't come to grief trying the second. I would normally be very cautious about installing chipset drivers and here we try it to see if it works. I'm worried. I am short of time right now, however I will post tomorrow how to post screen shots on here, 'tis a little complicated at first, but once you have done one it becomes easier.Nev. I'll wait just a bit for this and try the pictorial way first. I can't afford for the computer to go face up on me at this time of year. jim Quote
mij Posted December 1, 2014 Author Posted December 1, 2014 I have been trying to save an image of the VIA audio deck. Enlarging it I realised I could test both speakers - only one worked. It is in mono connection yet the deck shows a stereo system. Weird or what? One of the connectors is definitely a stereo connector and the other I assume to be power for the amplifier. I will try playing some more and see what I can find. jim Quote
mij Posted December 1, 2014 Author Posted December 1, 2014 Solved it! It was TIBCAS (the idiot between chair and screen). When I set up this computer (was it that long ago) I inadvertently put the pink connection of the stereo speakers into the pink socket at the back of the computer, and because it gave sound left it there. WRONG it should have gone into the pink socket on the other speaker where the out put from the amplifier is. I did wonder why it had a stereo plug on one wire and a single jack on the other wire. Oh dear me! Ah well all's well that ends well. jim Quote
KenB Posted December 1, 2014 Posted December 1, 2014 Nice one Jim :) Proof, yet again, that perseverance pays off. Quote There is an email going around offering processed pork - gelatin - and salt in a can ......this is simply SPAM !! MiniToolBoxNetwork TestWireless Test
mij Posted December 2, 2014 Author Posted December 2, 2014 I thought I might try to up-load an image or two, does it work? jim Quote
mij Posted December 2, 2014 Author Posted December 2, 2014 Nope, try again as I have made them smaller. I know some sites have size limitations. It looks as if I only got one here, that's one more than before though. jim http://extremetechsupport.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2381&stc=1 Quote

Plastic Nev Posted December 2, 2014 Posted December 2, 2014 Hi Jim, glad to see and hear things seem to be sorted out. Unfortunately I got locked out of the internet on Sunday till today, due to a faulty bit of internet service equipment, so couldn't reply till now. Nev. Quote Need help with your computer problems?
