Guest Newsgroup Guy Posted July 30, 2007 Posted July 30, 2007 Hi. Does anybody know what sound drivers I can install in Windows NT (Compaq 046Ch main board)? - It is a very old computer. Thank you.
Guest realcestmoi Posted July 31, 2007 Posted July 31, 2007 Hello Ther, Look on the Compaq/HP website for drivers for your computer.

Guest Newsgroup Guy Posted August 1, 2007 Posted August 1, 2007 Hi. Thanks for the reply. I tried the HP website, but a search for Compaq 046CH does not yield any results. I have no idea where to look. Other drivers (not necessarily from HP), for really old computers, won't work?

Guest realcestmoi Posted August 2, 2007 Posted August 2, 2007 Hi there, You are most welcome. Look on the computer case a model number or TAG should be there and seacrh for that on the HP site. Other driver non HP might work but since there are many chipsets there are also many drivers, so that would be guess work. You can use Everst (google for it) to determine which hardware is in your computer and find the appropiate drivers for it. Good Luck.

Guest Newsgroup Guy Posted August 6, 2007 Posted August 6, 2007 Hi. Well, I looked. Mine is a very old Compaq EP/SB computer, and, unfortunately, all the drivers for these computers on the HP website have been removed. The links are still there, but the following pages say "No drivers etc." Moreover, I was foolish enough to try one of the NT drivers for an older model of just an EP computer, and now my damn NT system tells me "[a]t least one service or driver failed during system startup. Use Event Viewer to examine the event log for details" when the Ctrl+Alt+Delete screen appears. I really am lost. The only thing I understand is that I made it worse. If I try to start "Volume Control", it tells me I have to install mixer devices and that I can do so from Control Panel. (Does this tell you more?) And thank you again for trying to help.

Guest realcestmoi Posted August 7, 2007 Posted August 7, 2007 Hi there, Like I said it would be gambling. Knowing your hardware is necassary to find the appopiate drivers. I believe the mainboard has an Intel 440BX chipset, you can check this by locating the chipset on the mainboard. Please report if this is correct than I might be able to assist finding the right drivers. Also state which Operating System you are using NT4?
