Asus K8Vse Deluxe - SoundMax
Hi,
Builds 5600 and 5728 both suffer from broken sound with the Asus K8Vse Deluxe motherboard. According to the mobo manual, the audio chipset is ADI AD1980. Vista loads its own drivers and claims that the sound is working ok. I've tried to install the old drivers (from the motherboard cd) using the various compatibility modes and other 'tricks' that have been posted on the net but the older drivers usually cause Vista to report "DSndUP error - No ADI codec driver is installed." I've searched for newer drivers and even tried ones for the AD1988. The only later Asus driver is for 64bit XP - I tried that in the 64bit version of build 5600 but the problem persisted. I've noticed that the mouse usually starts limping while the sound is breaking but, according to the performance monitor, the CPU is still only around 75%. The CPU is an AMD Althlon 64 3200+. Having found work-arounds for the various networking problems in 5600 (all but one fixed in 5728), it's only the sound preventing me using build 5728 full-time. I wonder has anyone found a solution, please.. John. -- |

Asus K8Vse Deluxe - SoundMax
John, allow me to echo your sediments. I have a brand new Asus P5B using the
AD1988 Soundmax chipset, and I cannot get anthing better than stereo sound out of it. I had to install the 64bit XP drivers (running the 64bit release, Vista 5600) before the S/PDIF would wake up and start to work, but even so all I can get is stereo sound. I too had the 'No ADI codec' issue, and this seems to have licked it. Aswell I have seen a little of the limping, but only if the system is under crazy duress (I tried opening every program at once, just because I am weird that way...) otherwise it appears to be stable. Also, on boot up sometimes it will take forever to load. I have no idea as to the cause as yet, but it could be related. James. "John" wrote in message ...

Vista loads its own drivers and claims that the sound is working ok. I'm assuming that while vista states that sound is working ok, you're in fact not hearing anything. Right? Try this: Connect your headphone/speakers to the microphone INPUT port. No, I'm not kidding... I am experiencing this on an ASUS A7V600-X mobo. Drivers load ok, sound is being mapped to the wrong port. I did not know this was technically feasible... HTH, Chris |

Asus K8Vse Deluxe - SoundMax
interesting observation chris...
possible there is something crossed in the driver as these sound chips are capable of delivering sound on the microphone channels to acheive 5.1 sound, etc... and so the driver in default mode may already be doing this. this will definately prove to be a useful tip for all the tech support peeps out there when vista is fully released I am sure James "Chris" wrote in message ...

Vista loads its own drivers and claims that the sound is working ok. I'm assuming that while vista states that sound is working ok, you're in fact not hearing anything. Right? No, it does work but it keeps stopping and juddering. With the mouse becoming "jerky" at the same time, it has all the symptoms of an overworked CPU. But the CPU is anywhere between 10% and 70% when it stutters and, if a 3.2GHz CPU isn't fast enough, Vista will have to stay in its box Try this: Connect your headphone/speakers to the microphone INPUT port.

HTH, Chris I think using the Realtek driver instead of the ADI one can be worked around that way with some systems by using the 4-channel surround sound connections but I tried those drivers and it didn't work unfortunately. The "latest" 32-bit drivers on the Asus site for my mobo are sometime in 2003 so I'm not holding my breath for an update. Even the 64-bit, dated 2004, seems to be only a 64-bit build rather than having any later code. John. |
