Solve : another hair-pulling driver(?) issue? |
Answer» Hello! Name is rob (obviously). Whats confusing me more is there is an unknown device stated "Modem device on high definition audio bus" That is an internal 56k (dialup) modem. thats even worse news. the fact that it cant even detect any audio hardware at all leads me to believe that its not a driver issue...I presume you are using Windows? I guess you already looked in Device Manager for any device that has a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark. This will at least tell you if XP recognized the device, but just couldn't find the driver. You may have to install the chipset driver (have you done this?) before Windows will recognize the audio hardware, so don't give up yet. HOWEVER, this is around $25 Turtle Beach Audio Advantage Amigo II USB Sound Card & Headset Adapter i belive the chipset drivers have already been installed (ATI SMBus). Just updated the bios, going to try to re-install the chipset drivers. (p.s. i asked stored with usb adapter because i cannot play online) Quote from: simplyrobbie on May 19, 2011, 01:49:17 PM (p.s. i asked stored with usb adapter because i cannot play online) Well, considering I don't even know what country, and what location in that country, you live in, (I am in England) I can't really help you with a store. Have you heard of Google? Or CIRCUIT City if (as I suspect, I wonder why?) you are an American? They have plenty of USB sound cards from $12.99 online price. Maybe you can use Google to find their store locator page and a telephone? (to call your local store.) (and ask them) They have the Sabrent USB-SBCV USB sound card for $12.99 online price. canada, ontario. google gave me only online retailers. although im pretty sure my turtle beach headsets run on the computer solely through the usb. problem is my friend has it, will have to get it back some how. Also ati no longer supports the chipset drivers (i assume since i cant find anything that supports my hardware on their website) Ati xpress 200m (apparently its legacy) Quote from: simplyrobbie on May 19, 2011, 02:23:19 PM canada, ontario. google gave me only online retailers. although im pretty sure my turtle beach headsets run on the computer solely through the usb. problem is my friend has it, will have to get it back some how. You didn't look very hard, did you? 1. I searched for "Electronics stores Canada" 2. Best Buy came up high in the list 3. They sell USB sound cards like this one 4. see below Best Buy Store Locations in Ontario Location Address Phone Number Ajax 20 Kingston Rd W, Ajax, ON 905-619-6977 Brampton 25 Peel Centre Dr, Brampton, ON 905-494-2179 Burlington 1200 Brant St, Burlington, ON 905-332-4758 EAST York 147 Laird Dr, East York, ON 647-777-3196 Etobicoke 167 North Queen St, Etobicoke, ON 647-288-2300 Kanata 745 Kanata Av, Kanata, ON 613-287-3912 Kingston 770 Gardiners Rd, Kingston, ON 613-887-2599 Kitchener 215 Fairway Rd S, Kitchener, ON 519-783-0333 London 1735 Richmond St, London, ON 519-963-8494 London 1080 Wellington Rd, London, ON 519-686-2160 Markham 5000 Hwy 7, Markham, ON 905-754-3025 Mississauga 6075 Mavis Rd, Mississauga, ON 905-361-8251 Nepean 1701 Merivale Rd, Nepean, ON 613-212-0146 Newmarket 175 Green Lane E, Newmarket, ON 905-954-1262 Oakville 2500 Winston Park Dr, Oakville, ON 905-829-2034 Ottawa 380 Coventry Rd, Ottawa, ON 613-212-0333 Richmond Hill 225 High TECH Rd, Richmond Hill, ON 905-695-3906 Scarborough 50 Ashtonbee Rd, Scarborough, ON 416-646-6726 Scarborough 480 Progress Av, Scarborough, ON 416-296-7020 St Catharines 420 Vansickle Rd, St Catharines, ON 905-378-0333 Toronto 695 Wilson Av, Toronto, ON 416-635-6574 Toronto 65 Dundas St W, Toronto, ON 416-642-8321 Whitby 1751 Victoria St E, Whitby, ON 905-674-1055 Windsor 4379 Walker Rd, Windsor, ON 519-967-2070 Woodbridge 7850 Weston Rd, Woodbridge, ON 905-264-3191 There is a neat program that can identify hardware, EVEREST Free Edition 2.20 http://majorgeeks.com/download4181.html It is FREE and works great.
