5908.0. "Lost my Sound! Help!" by MIPSBX::"[email protected]" (Dan Notov) Mon Apr 14 1997 17:37

I have an AlphaStation 500/400 running NT4.0 (now) SP2.

This weekend, My Alpha crashed. After rebooting, I find that all sound has
been reduced to a pair of clicks that coincide with the beginng and end of a
sound event. I attempt to reinstall the Windows Sound System, without luck.
I updated to SP2, just in case there was a new sndsys32.dll floating around.

When I attempt to re-install the driver, I am prompted for with the following
defaults: DMA1, I/O 530, IRQ 11. Are these correct? There is no mention of the
sound card in the AlphaStation manual.

Any clues? Suggestions?

5908.1Maybe it's a hardware problem?STAR::COOKJust say NO to that AccViO! - Java!!!Thu May 01 1997 13:5910
    Hmmm...I wonder if it could be a hardware failure?
    
    Fwiw, I inherited an AlphaStation 255/233Mhz (on which OpenVMS
    is installed/running).  The bell wasn't working, so I opened the
    covers and noticed that the speaker connector wasn't connected.
    After re-inserting the speaker-connector back onto the motherboard,
    all I got for my trouble was some steady clicks, about a half-second
    apart.  (See note 1941 in WRKSYS::ALPHASTATION conference for details.)
