I have installed all the PCI card I know of: sound blaster and network card, but under my control panel - system - device manager, there is still an "other device" PCI multimedia audio device listed. How do I figure out what this is or what drivers I should even look for to install this device?

Thanks


Also some one please answer my Sound blaster compatability question below

Assuming the mobo in question is the Epox EP-8K7A referenced in your sig, device manager is probably detecting the onboard sound card. You need to disable it in the CMOS.

I would expect there to be a jumper on the mobo in order to disable that onboard audio..

What dost though manual say? Did you RTFM?

It often means that there is a driver from your motherboard cd that needs to be installed.

Look in your manual for how to disable the on-board stuff. It's usually listed as "Integrated blah blah".

The listing could be for the game port, wave device, etc. What is currently listed there?

<< Did you RTFM? >>



Did you mean this?

The 8K7A allows you to disable onboard audio thru the system bios.

o, kinda related to this


how do i disable the onboard sound on my old ass Compaq Pentium 2 motherboard?

In the BIOS, I can barely access anything. I dont have manuals, and I dont have jumped on board to adjust :)
