I am running the latest stock BIOS for the motherboard, 1011 Beta 005. My board does not have onboard audio. Note that both the Ultrasound PnP and Crystal parts of the board should show up under configured PnP cards on the initial POST screen. In the BIOS, the following was set under the PnP …

The thing that is particularly strange is that the results are not at all consistent, and every tool so far tends to hunt before settling on a read data port. This is not normal, and suggests a problem somewhere. One thing we have seen a number of times is these types of storage adaptors causing …

do you get any of these PnP devices on the BIOS messages when the system boots? similar to this? ... And what happens when Crystal part does not work, do you get it listed and it does not work or it disappears from BIOS list as well? I do get somewhat similar messages: On the post screen I …

Thanks for your hints! So I did some more tests on my P2B-S. I updated the BIOS to the newest version (1014-003) and it was sucessful! So finally a working flash. So I'll have to get some new ones for my P5A and a programmer as well... After updating the BIOS I reset all settings both by removing …

I observed some somewhat reproducible freezes on my Win 98 SE on an ASUS P2B-S: I had an Elasa Winner 2000 Pro/X PCI graphics (S3 Vision968) card plugged in and HWiNFO 7.62 and 7.66 froze the whole system every time during 'Analyzing PCI Bus'. Once I swapped for a Rage XL AGP it worked fine. However …

Thanks for your quick reply! Now that you said it trying another PSU sounds so obvious. I took a look at the Orpheus II PCB and it looks like it does not use -5V, I hope this is correct. So I used a much newer PSU that doesn't have -5V. Testing under Win 98 the noise is gone and the OPL has pretty …

I have some problems getting the GUS-part of my Orpheus II detected: During POST I get the following message: Initialize Plug and Play Cards... Card-01: CS4237B PNP Init Completed But I only get the Card-01-line sometimes. I do not remember for sure if I got something about the GUS once, but I think …

I stumbled over similar issues. You can find a thread here talking about a tool to manipulate the AGP drivers: https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?p=694030#p694030 I think if its not working at all you would need to set the check to "Force Sideband Disable", but you can also test around with other …

Hi, I finally came around to unpack some old hardware I had stored for years and decided on trying to do a SS7-build. I first got a little scared in my first test as I only got a black screen with my Rage 128 Ultra (AGP 2.0) I knew to be working with my Asus P2B-S which also has an AGP 1.0-slot. …

Hi, I found the List of video card tech demos but is there anything like that for sound cards? I was looking for some old EAX tech demos and only found two videos on youtube: The Gold Mine Experience Mystic Temple The former is supposed to be on the Audigy 2's Feature Showcase disc according to the …
