    ECS K7S5A. NO SOUND!!!!!

    I recently upgraded to a K7S5A board,1800xp.Everything was going great, installed everything booted up but there was no sound. I have uninstalled-reinstalled drivers, hardware but this does not solve it. I have enabled onboard sound in the BIOS.Device manager says the speakers are working and they do work on my other system. A friend of mine said that i will need speakers that are amplified as the ones i have are small desktop ones and they won't work. Any ideas.

    Thanks.

    No need for that. As usual with a LINE OUT connector, you need to go into an amplifier, not directly into speakers. Later K7S5A (those that have the C-Media 4-channel codec) can drive a headset if you switch to that speaker model, but no K7S5A can drive an unamplified set of speakers.

    Sometimes I think that Peter must just stop in and do a search for K7S5A and jump on all the new ones. He does a good job of helping us wee folk carry the budget banner!

    Not just the K7S5A, but any ECS / PCChips.

    Don't know about the speakers, but lockup/instability probs with this board are very often the result of a cheap/low powered PSU. seems the K7S5As are rather picky in such respects.
