Iīve justs assembled a computer with a motherboard PCCHIPS M863G and Iīm using a Windos XP.
I loaded the motherboard drivers, but I canīt get any sound from it. The modem works fine, so does the monitor and so on, the the sound card...I canīt get a sound from it.

Any help is welcomed.

Oh, almost forgot....the whole contraption is an onboard sound card.

Please help!

Have you tried downloading the latest audio drivers? The ones that came with board are probably quite old. I believe these are the proper drivers:

Hi Michael,

Thanks for your input, it took me the whole day to download the update from the site in taiwan, and after installing it, the problem remain. I uninstalled the old drive and installed the new one, and nothing, just a big silence.

The program with the drives didnīt have any specification on the buttons only ? marks. Maybe it was the chinese format which may browser donīt recognise.

Thanks once again and any further help is appreciated.

Iīd also appreciate if any one else could send some help.

Thanks.

I have the exact problem. In addition, the c-media site is no longer reachable. The best I can do is to get the "latest" driver from the pcchips website, which doesn't work. Not a pop. Had I not seen this posting, I would have thought I have a motherboard with bad audio connectors. Please, has anyone ever gotten this to work?

hey man, i have an extra audio plug in the front part of the case, and if i connect the speaker in the back part, i have no audio, would that be ur problem??? that u have to jump something cause u dont have the extra plug?? if u know wot to jump, please tell me, cause i would like to be able to connect it in the back part

Thanks for the reply. I figured out what the problem was. It was my mistake. I connected the DVD/CD audio cable to the wrong connector port on the motherboard that is used for digital audio. Once I corrected the problem, I got the audio back. I should have been more careful reading the document.

Thanks,

i had the same problem on this board i visited pchips site and found out there is a spot for front audio right beside the rear audio on the mb reason being if you plug headpfones into the front audio the rear audio shuts off i didnt use the front audio i put two jumpers on the pins and i had rear audio go to http://www.pcchips.com and search for your mb then download the jumper settings this will fix your problem
