My Aptiva can't find the card. It says MWave error VxD005 and "no DSP board found". Can anybody help me? ..

Same machine .... same problem....does not recognize the card...tried to install additional RAM...got this message when I booted...MWave Virtual Device Driver Error.....MWabve error: VXD005 - No DSP board found in the system...
It's there and looks fine to me..but it won't run..no modem, no sound...can anyone help, with the exception of dumping it in the trash...

my computer does not have any sound. I have an Aptiva 14A, Model 2144- A14 and Series 23MKR13. Please tell how could I get the sound back.

No sound from my Model 2176-C66 Aptiva, after I upgraded(?) from Win95 to Win98.
I understand that the sound card drivers are embedded on original recovery CD which will reinstall Windows95. Any suggestions?

My Aptiva 2176-C66 Finally *recognized* the built-in sound card as being a *Dolphin* and I installed 1,082 files and drivers for this Dolphin Mwave Adapter. Still no sound! I could re-install Windows 95 with the recovery CD, but then the computer would not recognize any USB components!
I assume the best thing to do is to start with a new sound card and supporting software that Windows 98 would recognize.

I also have an Aptiva....planning to buy a soundcard. Will the integrated soundcard "disturb" the new one? Is it possible to make it work?

Dear Elinor,
What model/speed is your Aptiva and why do you want to make a change? andelvis@yahoo.com
Check this Unofficial Aptiva Support site at //members.aol.com/Don5408/index.html
before you do anything. I also have Aptiva.
I have some problems with it, I'm working on it. Let's keep in touch.

Just a note of info. I was helping a friend with an Aptiva E26 computer. She replaced Win95 by wiping the c drive and installing a full Win98. She lost the modem driver. I found a driver at: http://www.pc.ibm.com/support?lang=en_US&doctype=Downloadable+files&subtype=Cat&page=brand&menu=subtype&brand=IBM+Aptiva&family=&subtype=Modems but it was not E26 specific. Someone else came up with E26 specific with complete documentation at: ftp://ftp.pc.ibm.com/pub/pccbbs/aptiva/aa7zolus.exe. Everything works great and the lady is very happy.

I need to know what king of sound driver is, for IBM Aptiva E26, desktop computer, so please i'need the description of that sound driver

I have an old aptiva win95 and cannot initialize modem or go online. says I need mwmparsw.dll. Anyone know where I can get a copy of this? thanks

Por favor si alguien dispone de los controladores de Sonido Mwave para IBM
MC27802C enviarme al presente email.
Gracias...

IBM Aptiva 2168M40 75mhz
I upgraded from Win3.1 to Win95 operating system.
The MWave (modem/soundcard)wasn't recognized!
I downloaded the required drivers from http://www.pc.ibm.com/support and installed them.
Everything (fax send/receive and sound) seems to be working fine except when I attempt to connect to my ISP. The modem just gets stuck squeeling after my ISP's modem answers and attemts to establish a connection. I've tried connecting my Aptiva to a different ISP (using a friends account and password) and it contects fine to them.
What is the problem with my ISP?

my aptiva model# 2176-c77 has lost the sound how can i regain sound? if you can sevnd me something to download my sound back please send thanks.

hi also have a problem with an IBM aptiva.. 2137-e26,, it won't read the sound card or read the modem and i've formatted teh hard drive and tried running windows 95 and 98 .. it just won't seem to work.. can anybody help..
