Volume Control

[Guest Earl Partridge]

Win 2000

Volume Control not in sys tray. I know it has to do with drivers, but I'm unable to determine

exactly what drivers I need. I've run Belarc and in Multimedia it shows MPU-401.

I've tried several drive sites but not able to find what I need.

It is an onboard audio.

Re: Volume Control

 

MPU-401 is not your sound device, its a driver

 

If your 'sound' are not working you first need to determin what your sound

card is

 

Control Panel>Sounds & Audio>Place Volume icon in task bar

Re: Volume Control

 

In Control Panel | Sounds and Multimedia, the "Show volume control on

taskbar"

is grayed out. It indicates Checked, but still grayed out.

Using Belarc, it shows Main Board BIOS American Megatrends.

 

Also in Device Manager, indication is that drivers are not installed for:

Ethernet Controller, Multimedia Audio Controller, PCI Simple Comm

Controller.

 

Any thoughts on these?

Did you install your mobo chipset drivers?

Re: Volume Control

 

It's an old board and I don't have the Motherboard CD.

I took a chance that it has SiS chips and downloaded their Audio and Network

drivers and installed them. I now have sound and network access.

Thanks.

Go to the manufacturer's website and download ALL the drivers for your

motherboard, including chipset drivers. Install the chipset drivers first,

the remainder you can install in any order.

Re: Volume Control

 

As a later poster states, visit the mobo site & download the correct drivers

Chipset, Lan & maybe sound

Re: Volume Control

 

I spoke a bit too soon. Getting a couple blue screens...

Driver IRQL not less or equal

Kmode Excpetion not handled.

 

Might need a little steering here on the MB. The Belarc report, under Main

Circuit Board indicates BIOS American Megatrends. I believe the MB to be

a K7-810XLM.

 

How can I determine the exact MB model. I assume with that model number

I can then find the proper drivers.

Re: Volume Control

 

According to Amptron.com the motherboard is manufactured by Asrock

However Asrock has no listing

Re: Volume Control

 

1) paste board name into search engine

2) notice results indicate board developed by amptron

3) paste amptron into search engine

4) determine amptron url

5) past following into search engine (eg google) w/o quotes:

"K7-810XLM site:.amptron.com"

6) result 1 of 1:

<http://www.amptron.com/html/biosCode.html>

 

Does that help?

Earl;

 

The best way to determine the exact MB model (and more importantly, the

individual chips) is by cracking open the case and taking a look. While

you are there, identify the model number of any chip for which you need

a driver. The ethernet chip, for example.

 

Searching for K7-810XLM, you'll find that it also maps to M817LMR, model

codes from Amptron. <http://www.amptron.com/html/biosCode.html> Amptron

however does not manufacture these boards. At various times, they've

rebranded boards from PCChips, Asrock and ECS among others.

 

If you search for ("K7-817XLM"|M817LMR) filetype:pdf, you'll get a few

hits on the manual for your momboard, I got it from

<http://www.techoservices.com/manuals/K7-817LM/817s13a_2.pdf>.

 

Cross-referencing your visual inspection and the manual, you'll see your

momboard uses the Ali1647 northbridge, AMI BIOS and realtek chips for

NIC (u21) & sound (ALC100 Chipset for the ac'97 codec). The specs,

components and layout are identical to the ECS K7AMA v1.5.

 

ECS K7AMA drivers are located here:

<http://www.ecs.com.tw/ECSWebSite/Downloads/ProductsDetail_Download.aspx?detailid=81&DetailName=New&DetailDesc=&CategoryID=1&MenuID=6&LanID=0>

 

If you prefer to download the drivers for the individual chips, go

directly to the OEM (realtek):
