Good website! You spent more than a few years at sea it looks like! I bookmarked
the site so I can read more later..
I wish you luck at the computer shop! The drivers you downloaded would work on non
OEM sound systems, or should anyway.. The chips were used on over the counter sound
boards (retail/OEM, not from a big computer manufacturer), so that leaves us with
either a bad motherboard, the device just not being standard for the drivers or the
wrong drivers. At least they installed without giving an error, which means that
at least the installer for the drivers, correctly identified the device and installed
the drivers. Supposedly, Dell also used the same sevices, but may or may not have
done the same modifications. They all usually do as they order them by the truck
load.
What really irks me is the amount of old used hardware that is being dumped on unsuspecting
customers. I couldn't live with myself if I did it to my customers. (I've been
building and repairing for over 20 years now, and actually worked with Windows 1.0)
I just had the gut feeling from your description that you well may have had hardware
issues as a major root cause, then mixed with other problems along the way. It's
always a learning experience.
Let me know how it goes. You can send an email to me through the site if you want
anytime. Always try to help where ever I can and sometimes it won't be of any help
posting here, or if it's personal in nature. :-)
If you keep the motherboard, you may end up installing a new sound card into a slot
if everything else works.
