Struggling with an Iqon

danger_mouse_tm

I offered to fix a computer for free and this is what I got landed with! After clean xp home install, windows update did most of the dirty work but left me with a c-media AC97 audio device in device manager with an exclamation mark. Device failed to start. pci ven_1039&dev_7012
Can someone do this for me before my ESB bill from this donkey goes through the roof!

No joy with any of those, I've an awful feeling there's either something wrong with the thing or maybe there's some underlying chipset driver that would have been on the original cd that has to be installed first. I've uninstalled the device and rebooted each time, and the last effort I actually told it not to search, in other words, i forced it to use different drivers under "have disk". The recycling centre is calling! twould be far handier to disable the thing in the bios and get an pci or even cheap usb ad on card.

The problem with AC'97 devices is that the PCI ID is that of the southbridge controller and not the DSP chip. It may not actually be a C-Media chip in there.

Try this one. If it doesn't work, you'll need to verify what AC'97 chip is in there. You can either do a physical check on the motherboard - it's usually at the edge of the motherboard near the PCI slots, or AIDA64 might be able to identify it for you.

I actually did a bit of a work around. I had a COA for vista home from an old box and installed that. Probably a little performance heavy for the iqon but on the first reboot I disabled the midi and game controller in bios and let windows update take care of all the drivers (which it did). I sent it back to its ungrateful owner yesterday with the hopes never to see it again.

Best not tell the ungrateful owner that his new Windows Vista operating system is not genuine then

It "should" be fairly genuine if I've installed from a microsoft CD and activated with a genuine COA (sticker) that I placed inside the case of his one.
