Serious Help Needed

wicked859 · 10-08-2006, 03:05 AM

Yea, Im pretty sure it was purchased before hp took over compaq...Before, I had a creative audigy sound card in this system, but traded it over to my main computer, the onboard sound is a realteck ac 97...I really appreciate all the help
model number: Compaq Pesario s6300nx

The late update for that was on 11/08/05. You can still download the Realtek AC'97 driver set at http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/s...tem=pv-36798-1

At you know HP is still carrying some updates since some are dated for june and july of this year. Those are for the mouse seen on the previous page. http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/s...n&cc=us&os=228

Still didnt fix the problem, I fear that the onboard chip is *Dead*, but I think I can get a crappy sound card from a friend, I appreciate all the help PC Eye

Why not get a good sounding card for a low price? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16829102176

I actually looked at that today, at a local circuit city...still considering it though

That one was in the lower price range there. Personally for a good sound card without being the latest and highest priced I have been running the Audigy 4 Pro 5.1 surround model.

It does sound like it's plain old fried. It happens. Just buy a cheapo. The best thing to do is go to the computer shop. If they are anything like me they will have a box full of crap. Just ask him to sell you an old used one for 10 bucks or something. I doubt they'd give you a hassle. 10 tax free bucks that you don't have to put in the till is a couple of beers.

The idea is to be able to use the sound card after the old Compaq takes a turn for the worse. Then you don't to buy two separate cards. Gee that can leave extra money onhand for.... those ultimate hardwares you really want.

well guys, after thinking about it last night, Ive decided to go ahead and upgrade my main pcs sound card to a x-fi at xmas, and Ill just use the audigy se in the compaq, until then I can use one from a friend.
