What I wanna know is HOW spentonxp managed to get the sound working via downloading from the link above. I clicked on the link, and this is the msg I see:
"This file is not compatible with the version of Windows installed on the computer that you are using right now. If you are accessing this file for another computer, be sure to double-check that this file matches that computer's version of Windows before continuing."
Apparently, that particular download isn't compatible with WinXP. Based on what I read, I thought spentonxp had WinXP too???
If someone can help me figure out how to get the sound to work on my system, it'd be great!
I don't know what kinda info is needed, but this is what I got off the Gateway site (in regards to my computer components).
Motherboard: Jabil BX Motherboard w/ Integrated Audio R2 [Part #4000472]
Processors: Intel Pentium III (Katmai) 450 MHz processor SAC [Part #2503925
Board: Intel Corporation
Bus Clock: 100 megahertz
BIOS: Intel Corp. 4W4SB0X0.15A.0012.P07 02/04/1999
CPU Type: Intel Pentium III, 450MHz (4.5 x 100)
Motherboard Name: Intel Warm Springs WS440BX (1 ISA, 5 PCI, 1AGP, 3 DIMM)
Motherboard Chipset: Intel 82440BX
BIOS Type: Phoenix (02/04/99)
Lastly, my computer uses onboard audio. Sound card is built onto the motherboard.
I really hope someone can help me remedy this problem!!
Welcome to windrivers kumushai. Ignore the warning from gateway and download the driver. W2K and XP drivers are generally interchangable.
Thx for the tip, hudsonsmith!!Quote:

The sound of music coming from my computer never sounded so beautiful. *sniffles* I wish I knew about this site a lot earlier though. The Gateway support tech guy was no help at all. In fact, his way would've lead to bigger headaches.
Anyhow, this site rocks!
ok im back guys... i have a problem. :mad: the drivers work, they really do, but if I restart my computer more than once, or shut off my computer, the sound is lost. i have to uninstall my drivers restart, install the new driver and restart. then they work. but i cant shut off or restart my computer. why is this?? plus, if i restart my computer with my sound muted, its gone and i have to reinstall the drivers... help me again!
anyone?? please??
Ok just to cover the bases, I have done all recommendations I found when browsing for my problem including using the drivers listed in this forum as well as a few other generic drivers.. no luck..
Was running win2k server.. sound card worked fine.. now fresh install to XP (not upgrade.. ewww) My sound does not work. All drivers look fine it lists as a ES1371/1373 blah blah (WDM) like everyone else here.
It is an onboard Audio, onboard Video, but thats it. Everest information is as follows:

If anyone can give me a heads up that'd be Great. Its a PIII 500Mhz mobo which I believe used to be part of a Seanix OEM system some time ago, not sure of the model of such but Seanix doesn't have anything, they have a very useless driver base. If you need any more information please don't hesitate to ask.
You got me stumped on that one. You may have to bite the bullet and go for a format and clean install.Quote:

There are 9x/nt drivers for your motherboard (unlikely to work), as well as 2k drivers for the ES1371 (which may work).Quote:

What drivers were you using w/ 2k server? Have you tried these w/ xp? If none of these work, at the end of the day you may be better off spending $10-$20 for a new sound card.
..of course most of these cards were never designed for xp & 'wdm' in the first place !!! {hence the bios patches referenced by way of 'fix' so far} - so yeah, if xp's native driver 'won't have it' .. this seems the only practical way forward unless you can track a better fit driverwise or persuade a new bios out of your m/b manufacturer to fix its 'not liking xp'-'ness' ;)..Quote:

[QUOTE=spentonxp]My Creative AudioPCI (ES1371,ES1373) (WDM) is not working with windows xp,im not too sure whether the drivers are correct,and the multimedia option in the control panel does not recognise the hardware,it says that there is no sound hardware on the machine,but the device says that it is functioning properly,
i need help urgently as the sound is very important to me
