thechief55 Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 I have Vista and AC97 sound card onboard but when i install the drivers the rear speakers and the subwoofer don't work. from the sound effect manager i cannot choose to run the rear speakers and the subwoofer. has anyone the same problem and is there a fix for it. pp an year ago when i installed 4074 there was the same problem but when i installed the newest drivers it was fixed. pp now i'm using 3.76 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benjeeeboy Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 this might sound really dumb but how do I get into bios to turn it on/off? 586541294[/snapback] Its usually DEL or F8 or something when the computer boots (before Windows loads) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P!P Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 this might sound really dumb but how do I get into bios to turn it on/off? 586541294[/snapback] That happened in one of my old computers and I know I never disabled it. For like two years, my computer didn't have sound. I tried everything and I finally got old enough to keep the right part of the BIOs. Always a good thing to check.
