ECS P6BAT-A+ onboard sound

[XPHatta]

i have a ECS P6BAT-A+ with onboard sound C-Media CMI8738/C3DX Audio Device, i got the drivers from microsoft updates, after they were installed i tried it out but the audio was very faint i had to turn the speakers up to all, and when ever i turn on or off the speakers it made this loud noise, can anyone help solve this problem i need my sound working properly

hmm, go to driversguide website and search for drivers there.
U - drivers
P - all

you may be using non-compatible drivers

Grab the drivers from here: C-Media Audio Driver CMI8738.

Ok i will try those drivers and see what happens

[XPHatta]

well that didnt work nothing changed, anyone know about any manual settings i would have to change?

[Atomic Rooster]

Have you clicked on the speaker icon in your taskbar and adjusted the sound volumes? You can also go to Control panel > Sound and Audio Devices and do volume adjustments there.

Nothing like that those are the first things i check i mean if they are any advanced options cause i am trying everything and if nothing doesnt work can some tell me how to disable the onboard sound?

[Atomic Rooster]

Try going into device manager and removing the onboard sound. Reboot. Then reinstall using the drivers that you downloaded.

k that worked the drivers were installed but i still have this problem only time i hear something is when i turn up the speakers to all but even then it still is very faint, prolly it isnt the drivers i guess
