My MX300 freezes in win2k

[insane]

Hej guys,

I have a problemen wich really bugs me. Whenever i play a mp3 file my mx300 freezes and in order to get the sound back i have to reboot. Sometimes in can listen 3 mins mp3 and it freezes and sometimes i can listen 30 mins to it. I would really appreciate it if you would post a solution for this nasty problem.

Take care,
Insane

Tried the latest drivers?

 

[insane]

No;(
it's 35Mb man. Plus i once used the latest drivers in my intel-time wich also didn't help. It's really boring playing without sound.

I had same setup and ended up getting a soundblaster live, no problems since. Read on Abit's site that there is an issue with MX300's.

Man tell me your kidding;(
This really sucks mx300 is a great product. Can't this be fixed by futher bios revisions?. Well maybee i should buy a soundblaster too. Wait a sec isn't the Abit KT7 RAID with onboard soundcard isn't that good enough

I have Mx-300 @ home and have no problems at all with win2k... but in winme with the drivers from the following CD in wouldn't even boot into winme... it just hanged... but then I found the latest drivers and it worked like a charm.

Download those without the demos they are not that big

Sounds intresting
The latest drivers are about 34Mb. So there is a new driver released?. Where can i get the win2k drivers without the demos and stuff?

Thnx
Insane

[VladTrishkin]

no probs, hope you get it to work.

 

[insane]

It works man!!!!
I decided to install win2k straigh away and with succes. Man i always liked win2k only because of the sound i never actually used it. I would like to thank you all who helped me out. Aureal 4 ever. Creative is suck man i rather see aureal get broke then sell their sole to Creative

whenever stuff like this happens to me, first thing i try is reordering the pci boards. soemtimes they'll memory map incorrectly depending on the mboard.

 

[insane]

damn
i forgot too install the new via 4-1 4.25a everything works okay now is it smart to install it anyway?

Bye
Insane

 

[VladTrishkin]

Great Now you know how A3D sounds! A3D all the way baby!

 

[ThurzNite]

Wait, so what's the order? VIA drivers first and then MX300? Or the reverse?

[insane]

well usually it's the via driver first but i forgot that. I first installed the mx300 and after that via 4-1 drivers
