Solve : Sound Card Identification?

Answer»

I am trying to identify the sound card I have in my computer. The only thing on written on it is:  DP-1 Rev:1.0     CE FCC. The chip is UTCWDFF TEA2025. On back is BTI  CFC-FREE 9932. I need drivers but don't know where to look. Any ideas?I believe the FFC website allows you to search by using the serial number.Try LOOKING in device MANAGER and see what windows id's the card as.I had checked it in devices and it was under other with the yellow ! so I looked for it in the registry and it said it had a vendor ID of 1106, so I went to the VIA web site and downloaded ComboAudio_A1u390a and ran setup. It looks like it is installed, no more others in devices, but no sound also. Checked all my sound settings and still nothing. This card does not plug into a PCI slot. It is mounted through the front of the tower and has a flat ribbon cable going back to the MOTHER board. It is not a major brand but was built by someone for a not for profit agency. I am trying to help them out.Can Windows not find the correct drivers for you?


Either by Updating Windows or by right clicking on the soundcard in Device manager and selecting the driver tab? (I cannot confirm this SINCE my Windows XP is a mess at the moment)I just reloaded 98SE and it dosen't seem to have it. Everything else seems fine.Try this http://www.driverguidetoolkit.com/ It is trial software but might give better chip information. If you use it only once and get the problem solved it just be worthwhile.msinfo32 in the run box would have told you sound card etc or dxdiag in the run box ...it will test for sound etc...can you also  check in the bios that your onboard sound is enabled?Found it. Reinstalled from VIA website and it now works. Thanks for the help.You're welcome.
