Hello,

I Recently took delivery of a System from overclockers (Ultima) and has a "Striker II mobo". The Supreme FX II Sound card didn't come with it, but Overclockers will send me one next week (thanks:) However, I'm having a Job to get the onboard sound working in the mean time (AC97) I've seen it in the Bios, and eneabled it, but nothing shows up on boot up. Any one know if you can get onboard sound with this MOBO (till my Sound card comes next week - tis Easter afterall)


TIA

Go to your device manager and look for a yellow question mark.

Also, check that onboard sound is not switched off in bios.

Isn't the onboard sound on the Supreme FX II? Does the mobo even have audio out ports on the IO backplate?

Probably does minstadave NO ports on the IO plate (or anything really).:)

Well, in the manual it says in the "advanced mode" in the BIOS: Front panel support: [HD AUDIO] "allows you to set the front panel audio connector (AAFP) mode to legacy AC'97 or High definitionaudio depending on the audio standard that the fron panel studio module supports. configuration options: [AC'97[ [HD audio]


There is also a "AI Audio 2 (soundMAX High definition Audio utility) mentioned in the manual) and is suppposed to be on the driver DVD/CD, so will go look at that later.

Thanks.:)

There is no soundchip on the PCB on Striker E or Striker II's, its on the card you await.

You can have any sound settings in the bios on and you wont see anything in Device Manager without that card.
 
There aint a Soundchip on the Mobo PCB for a fact, even without drivers, if you have Bios sound settings on it would show in Device Mananger as Yellow "!" or "?", but it does not.

Asus Mobos are not reference Nvidia's, the moved Soundchip to get more onto the rear I/O Plate, in the case of Striker II Formula, less on the I/O Plate for that Cooling vent.

I have owned both Mobo's.

The OP aint gonna have sound till his card arrives.
 
Definitely no sound onboard (no line ins/out for a start). Problem with the Card i get this week, is it uses the PCe x1 slot....but the Tuniq Cooler controler knob occupies this slot.!

I have My E-MU 0404 DSP 24 Bit card in now, but it doesn't "do games" very well (no sound in some games, and if there is, it skips a lot). So i wanted that in my system, plus a "dedicated Games card", and the soundblaster platinum i have is great, but with an SLI set up, it's ether the E-MU or the soundblaster.... Maybe you can get PCI adapter cables?, a thought:)


Cheers

There's two PCIe x1 slots, tho the lower one may be blocked if your graphics card is in the top PCIe x16 slot.

Well the GFX cards (GTX8800) are in the 1 and 3 slots (Blue) with my sound card in between. Not sure, But do TWO SLI Cards have to be in both Blue slots?, or will the "white and Blue" be ok? (something to do with PCIe 2.0)? not sure

thanks

The Supreme FX arrived today.... one small problem though, the pci connectors are the wrong way round on the card (or could be the MOBO i guess), its like "mirrored", so impossible to fit.:(
