in 3dmark03 I can't run any of the sound tests

[mikelish]

i have an integrated sound card with this chipset:
http://www.via.com.tw/en/products/audio/codecs/vt1612a/


on the website it says it only has 8 channels. I think the 3dmark03 requires 16channel, 32channel, and 64 channels of audio for each of the 3 tests.

if there's anyways around WITHOUT buying a new sound card I would like to know. sound quality isnt important to me, i would just like to run the sound tests.

thanks

8 channels or 7.1 = 7 satellite speakers + 1 subwoofer
16, 32, 64 channels = # of sound streams/channels sound card is capable of (not related to 8 channels)

See within the control panel or properties of your onboard sound if there's a option to select "Gaming mode" or similar.
