Please log in for more thread options I have a Chaintech mobo (Zenith CT-9CJS) it has what I call normal on board sound PLUS a Chaintech multimedia riser board from a individual slot on the mobo (i.e. not a pci slot) the riser card is identified as CMC 7.1 Now this card doesn't appear as far as I can see in the Device Manager! I cant identify anything like it in Sound, video,& game controllers. So I have duplicate o/p for speakers etc on the mobo and this riser card If I turn off on board audio in the BIOS I don't get any sound from the riser and I am trying to confirm that the riser card is installed with ITS drivers! hence the reason I am looking in device manger! The installation disk talks just of audio driver! and I have tried to find online a driver identified as being for the riser! Please help my brain is hurting :-) TIA Len | |||||||||||||

Nope, it's a 7.1 channel sound so you just have the full compliment of jacks with the riser installed. The riser simply adds the remaining channel outputs, it doesn't do anything more than that. If you don't have more than 2 speakers you don't even need the jack at all, are losing nothing by not having it installed, except some other features like optical output. Point being, the riser is not a logical device, it's just a physical adapter for the most part. > If I turn off on board audio in the BIOS I don't get any sound from the
>riser No kidding. How did you expect to get audio after disabling it? Were you specifically instructed that you MUST disable or change something to get it to work? If anything, there might be a jumper you need to move. Otherwise it's all in the drivers, control panel. Your board has 7.1 sound. That requires more jacks that the 3 on the board. The riser is no substitute or different (anything), it's simply manditory to get all the sound features of the regular sound. > and I am trying to confirm that the riser card is installed with ITS

Undo all the things you've done so far. For the time being pretend you do not have a riser and just get the front two channels output from the motherboard fixed jacks, working. THEN read your manual to see if there's jumpers you need to change. Otherwise there should be a mixer software to toggle the features for audio I/O. We should assume you DID install audio drivers, not just accepting whatever Windows tried to force on you, right? Perhaps in additon to the audio driver there is also a user front-end, audio "app" on same mobo CD or available from chaintech or elsewhere, but it has nothing to do with the riser per se, it's simply the full audio driver for the normal mobo audio. Now, onto specifics. Is this your riser? (or similar enough)? http://www.clubedohardware.com.br/fotos/9cjs-cnr.jpg Does your board use Envy 24PT audio? If so, you should go to Via's website and download their latest driver. http://www.viaarena.com/default.aspx?PageID=2 If you're running Windows, you can skip the menus and directly download their latest driver via this link: http://www.viaarena.com/downloads/drivers/audio/Envy24_Family_Drivers_V442a.zip | |||||||||||||
