to your question of your think it is isa.  
pci is normally a short white slot, isa slots re black and longer.

In all likelihood, you'll have to replace it.

Does your mainboard have onboard sound? you must disable that in the bios. Darrell

I recently upgraded from Win 98 to XP, and my Creative AWE 64 ISA sound card is recognized, drivers are loaded for it, but every media playback program (e.g. Windows media player) hangs, I dont have any system sounds and my CD player wont play audio CDs. However, when I plug my guitar and preamp into the "line-in" jack on the card, that comes through the speakers just fine...same with the mic. I disabled onboard sound, do I have to disable onchip sound as well? (in BIOS)? Some reports say XP wont support ISA cards, others say the opposite. Has anyone been able to solve a problem like this? Also, many of my older programs, such as games, recording studio software etc. cant even be installed, and crash the whole system. Any hints?

Got crazy triying, up to now only find an "annoying" solution: 1 - Change (or keept in my case) the driver to TARJETA (card)DE AUDIO DE 16 BITS CREATIVE AWE64 (COMPATIBLE CON SB16) 2- Go to Contorl panel Add Hardware, go bottom of the list add new hardware, install hardware by hand, chosse sound, search and select, SOUND BLASTER 16, AWE 32 O COMPATIBLE (WMD) if you try now it begins to work but not at all. 3- Go System, hardware, manager, and disable (just disable) SOUND BLASTER 16, AWE 32 O COMPATIBLE (WMD) It worked for my AWE 64 ISA CARD (still searching for apropiate drivers) , and had try every thing.

Don't quote me on this but i believe ISA cards are NOT supported with windows XP. XP will load generic divers in place if it cannot find pre-defined ones. If you look at your hardware info under system you'll see that there are sounds drivers loaded, but they will not work with your sound card. I believe the reason ISA is not being supported has something to do with the IRQ handler, which i read is different from 9x/me...something like that. My advice is to go get a cheap PCI card, you can get a 6chl card for 17 bucks, or if ur hardcore, pick up a new 6.1 DTS/DOLBY D. card.

Hi I am having the same problem with a yamaha opl ymf719 card which I took out of my P1 machine and put into my P3, even from the BIOS it doesnt show up under the PNP reserved part (just before XP loads) where everything else does - I have an ISA modem which works fine (setup as non-pnp) but the soundcard will not get picked up - there is nothing under device manager AT ALL and doing a full hardware search finds nothing - I have tryed to remove the modem and only have the sound card in but it still has the same problem, I know the card works and XP even has drivers for the exact card I have so it seems to be the BIOS not picking up on the card??

[Reply or follow-up to this message]

Im running a ISA 33.6k modem and a soundblaster 16 ISA sound card under XP - to get the modem running I set it to legacy settings such as com2 irq3 etc and did the full hardware search (after the PNP search completes) - the soundcard was different it would not autodetect it or pick it up at all - what I did was install the drivers for the sb16 ANYWAY, and when the computer restarted it worked fine even after showing no signs of detecting it

[Reply or follow-up to this message]

I just installed XP Pro on my new Asus P5GDC-V Deluxe motherboard, which has an on-board sound card. It has a built-in C-Media CMI9880 sound device. However, no sound device shows in the hardware profile. When I install the driver from the CD that came with the motherboard, the installation stops and terminates. Anyone having similar problems?

Hi all, Met the same problem with a bunch of SB16 ISA CARDs ... Solved it using default WDM driver (SB16 and AWE32 compatible) AND using settings IRQ5 DMA3 DMA0 because XP defaults them to IRQ9 DMA3 DMA0 ... since those ISA cards event tho they're plug n play for most, doesn't support IRQ9 as base adress you encounter the NO SOUND under XP problem ... NExt problem is Windows XP does not support Gain BASS and TREBLE control for these cards ... Looks like Creative won't do a move ... Time to go Linux ? cheers, kshirow

Hi! A couple of days ago, i had to unplug my computer to move it, and when I plugged everything back, the sound stopped working. I have tried everything! Reinstalling the drivers, troubleshooting, nothing helped! My drivers are working fine, checked the hardware, no red or yellow mark. The speakers are new and properly plugged in, and the volume turned up! I am using Windows XP. I don't know what to do!!!Can someone help me??? Thanks

Answering to all your questions above... windows XP does NOT support anymore the legacy cards. one solution i can figure out REMOVE the card from the system, get Windows NT 4.0 cd-rom and install ONE file called "pnpisa.inf" that's inside the cd-rom. Restart the system after that and tell how'd it went because i don't know if it works for everybody out there... another solution is BUY another card... u can find them at $15...

I have Creative SB AWE32 and I had to manually install the sound card. That is just Add New hardware and install the soundblaster. :>

If the system's BIOS allows this to be done, one way to resolve this problem is to change the IRQs manually for the USB device(s) and sound card in the BIOS setup program. Refer to the motherboard's manual, or the start-up screen for the key or key combination to press to enter the BIOS. You have to take care to make sure that no two devices are using the same IRQ.

I see TigerLilly's message is old now, but I am having a similar problem so wonder if her problem was resolved. I just reinstalled XP and have developed several annoying problems. The lack of sound is the latest one and since the sound card is on the motherboard it's probably not the card which was working just fine. I have a ShuttleX machine. Seem to have had a myriad of problems over the two years I've owned it. Thanks for your help.

I had the same problem. But to solve that, You have to install XP servixe Pack 1 first or Win 2000 service Pack 1. It will work on that OS. After that U can upgrade your Windows. that's all. 'me'-loeatz== Indonesia

I, too, recently had to reinstall XP (though the Dell 4700 is only 6 months young) 
because I could not get past the login page one day.  I hated to do it, but I couldn't 
get into the program to do a System Restore.

Now I am experiencing a number of problems, one of which is the non-output of sound. 
 No system sounds, no sounds when I run Jukebox--nada colada.  I of course had to 
reinstall via discs everything that was originally factory installed.  I have not 
changed sound cards or anything.  Everything worked fine before this reinstallation 
of XP.

I've read a number of posts that mention BIOS.  I've been hesitant to get into BIOS 
to perhaps adjust settings for fear of messing things up even more.

Anyone have any helpful suggestions?  I'd be SO very grateful!

Thanks in advance!  :)

Hi Barbara! I also have shuttleX and xp. Im not sure if you have solved your problem by now (i hope!!) Well I woke this morning with the sound gone on my pc grrrr (i have had this b4 and it ended up with hugh symons taking my pc for 3 weeks!!!) Anyway, I went into control panel, then audio etc, then speakers and went to advanced under volume and something called wave was right down. hmmm i wonder what this is for so i turned it up a bit and hey presto sound!!! Well i never! Strange things these pcs, why it decided to turn it down i dont know! but the problem is solved ! YEY!!

I own a computer repair business and see this sort of thing all the time. I do however frequently install ISA sound cards on windows xp computers, that should not be the problem, it is more likely just the procedure that is being used to install.

same ere i just formated my computer but this time i installed xp pro as i had xp home b4 now my sound card which is built in to my motherboard isnt recognized an i carnt find how to fix it anywhere!!!!

[Reply or follow-up to this message]

Seems to be a lot on the net about this and similar problems. I installed XP and no sound!!! - when I tried to check sound devices it just showed a modem. Like XP had found the modem and thought - that will do nicely for the sound. Maybe it would have but I had all the speakers plugged into the sound card - which as far as I could see wasn't even found by XP. Suggestions on net were to remove sound card - restart - put it back and restart and let XP find it - AND make sure you have the correct driver ready - also found some mentions of doing things on the BIOS. Gulp! Anyway - I was ready to remove the card but found a driver CD for Soundblaster so put that in thinking it was the sound card driver - as it was installing I realised it was just the drivers for the speakers I had bought. I never actually installed this when I plugged in the speakers initially (and they worked fine with whatever was on the PC). Anyway I thought this won't work as its not the driver for the sound card just the speakers - and as far as I could see (though maybe I missed it) XP hadn't found the sound card. God this is going on - OK - long story shorter - after install it said updating drivers - and sound came back. Not sure if the software was clever enough to search PC to see what sound card was on board and would normally override any existing drivers.

probably your card is so old for XP. Try to install it manually via "Add Hardware Assistant" (just selecting your model in the list). I did that for my Sound Blaster 16 and "voilà" all works properly!

Hello, I am wondering if you can shed any light on my Canon MP730 usb communication problem. I've been using this excellent multi-function machine for about 5 months with my e-machine, until the e-machine's power supply destroyed it's motherboard. I now use a new Dell Dimension 3000, and it communicates fine with my other usb devices, but not with the MP730. I've tried all the usual solutions (uninstalling drivers, reinstalling drivers, trying different usb ports), tested the usb cable (works fine with my other scanner), removed other printer & scanner drivers.. all without help. I just downloaded MP730 drivers from Canon's support web pages, hoping they might have some updates which will help.. but haven't had time to try this yet. Thanks for any insight you might have. Brad in Sacramento, CA.

Although I've not dealt with any conflicts between Canon and Dell's hardware, so would need to really research the problem you have if it happened to me, I can give one bit of advice, about the nature of readers at forums such as this one.

Don't tag a new reply onto a three year old thread. It will be ignored by enough of the readers to reduce the odds of the right person reading it. Start your own new message thread instead. And when you describe your experience, and your various attempts to make the device work, add in the EXACT error messages you've gotten along the way. That will help.

If you have a problem that you would like help with, do not add your complaint to the middle of an old thread where hardly anyone will see it. Write your own new message, including capitalization, punctuation, paragraph breaks, and none of the idiotic juvenile IM slang crap.

Add the details about the system affected, the trouble- shooting attempts performed so far, the exact words of any error messages, and when you are done, if you wrote as many as five sentences, you need to check off the "Preserve Spacing" box at the bottom, ignoring the bad advice there.

I also have a Dell, it's 3000 I think, and I rebooted Windows XP and now my sound won't work and the cd's do exactly the same thing.. reads the songs and then they turn red and won't play. In addition, my screen resolution is stuck at 16bit and it's not recognizing my drivers I suppose?? I have no idea? If anyone can help, I WOULD BE SOOOOO HAPPY!!
