I cannot seem to find the correct driver bundle for audio (Onboard)for this system:
Board: SiS-730
Bus Clock: 133 megahertz
1.20 gigahertz AMD Athlon
128 kilobyte primary memory cache
256 kilobyte secondary memory cache
BIOS: Award Software International, Inc. 6.00 PG 05/31/2001
SiS 630/730 [Display adapter]


I have downloaded drivers from
SIS.com and they do not work.
I have been using dxdiag command to bring up directX diagnostics and when I reach audio I get "Your software does not support buffering".
Where might I get the correct drivers or
info on how to set this system to play sounds?
I should mention this unit was donated and I do not have any support software with it.
Additionally I am running Win XP Pro.

TIA
DJMike

Is this onboard audio? What motherboard? SiS730 is the chipset model, not the motherboard model. Download the audio drivers from the motherboard manufacturer's website

Asus A7N8X-X
1800+ @8x210mhz
512mb PC3200
Ti4200/8X 128mb
WDC 60GB

The start-up screen identifies the board as:
SIS-730-6A6ISE19C-00
The audio and graphics are onboard.

I'm not sure who makes it.
Does this help?

Hi, after doing a bit of googling

I have come up with this find

Motherboard SiS-730-6A6ISE19C-00
Motherboard Name ECS K7SEM

and found this link for the audio drivers

http://www.ecsusa.com/downloads/drivers_sound.html

Scroll down to towards the bottom of the page and the SiS 7018 Sound Driver download is located there.

Alan56,
Thanks for helping!!!
I too was googling and happened across the same site. I have downloaded the drivers and installed them but still no onboard audio.I have checked in the bios for onboard audio and see nothing there.
Shouldn't there be a way to disable it so I can throw in a PCI audio card if need be?
Also shouldn't I locate the 4 in 1 via upgrades that usually come with the motherboards? I have tried the speakers in another pc and they work fine. This PC is real clean and after inspecting inside I see no trama! What is this buffering problem dxdiag informs me of ?
Any help would be appreciated.

TIA DJMike

Did you reboot after installing the drivers? silly question I know ;-)

You should be able to enable/disable on board sounds in the bios...

I think it would be under the peripherals section in the bios..have a good scout around....
