PC Chips MB CMI8330 sound Drivers for Win2000
Greetings Gurus!
I come seeking help for the obscure once again, I have searched previous posts & found plenty with pointers to <a href="http://www.cmedia.com.tw," target="_blank">http://www.cmedia.com.tw,</a> but this does not solve my issue.
I have a system based around a PC-Chips Motherboard that includes integrated CMI8330 sound. I performed a clean installation of Windows 2000 which detected all hardware except the C-Media Sound. I downloaded & installed the drivers for all sound components from <a href="http://www.pcchips.com/" target="_blank">http://www.pcchips.com/</a> & <a href="http://www.cmedia.com.tw," target="_blank">http://www.cmedia.com.tw,</a> but nothing I downloaded worked for the single yellow exclamation point for the CMI8330 Audio Adapter.
I went to Control Panel>Sounds & Multimedia Properties & saw that the device "CMI8330 Audio Adapter" had the following;
"Location on ALIM1533 PCI to ISA Bridge"
"Device Status: The drivers for this device are not installed".
In Device Manager the following devices are installed under "Sound, Video & Game Controllers:
>Audio Codecs
>CM8330 Audio Driver (WDM)
>C-Media CM8330 Audio Driver (WDM)
>C-Media Game Port
>!CMI8330 Audio Adapter (The one with the yellow exclamation & no driver)
>Legacy Audio Drive
>Legacy Video Capture
>Media Control Devices
>Video Codecs
With all of this, I still have NO SOUND.
Ideas???????
