Just finished building the following MONSTER -all ok bar a few littel hiccups . . .
Asus Maximus Extreme MB
DDR3 @ 1333Mhz
QX6850 Extreme
Windows XP
RAID 10 Raptors etc etc
1 main problem is that with the MB came an add-in Sound Card - it dont work - the drivers load - the software loads windows recognises when the machine boots too and installs it successfully - but Windows XP cant get the damn thing to work! In Control Panel "Sound & Audio Devices" it says that no audio device is connected.
I have installed, removed and reinstalled - played with the BIOS - enabled/disabled the Audio thingy there too - no joy!
So I also have an EMU 404 PCI card - same thing - it all loads and windows recognises it being installed when it boots and installs it successfully - but windows says the same thing and it dont work either - conclusion - a windows problem.
Obviously I am fully uptodate with all drivers and bios (1001) and windows updates.
Interestingly when each card is plugged in (not at the same time) and I go device manager/properties it says that the drivers have been installed but are not enabled - what is that all about?
Also there are no yellow circles in device manager - everything thing that should be there is there!
HELP - b4 I go sort myself out with a USB solution!!!!
Khushy
PS- the board came with BIOS 0604 installed - it did all the above with that installed so I thought I would update that and the same again - aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhh
