Drewdatrip Posted May 4, 2003 Posted May 4, 2003 I just loaded Windows 2003 on my Home Server/Media center. I loaded up all the divx codec to play movies, the visual is fine, but all i get out of the speakers is this high pitch hum...any ideas? Its and Abit Be6-2 with a PIII 866 512 mushkin pc150, 40gig WD 7200 Windows2003 stand=Drew
Aaron Posted May 4, 2003 Posted May 4, 2003 You forgot to mention what sound card you got, but try the sound card's XP drivers to see if this high pitched hum goes away.
MSNwar Posted May 4, 2003 Posted May 4, 2003 I think Tha_Filer said something about issues with movies and sound on W2K3Server. I know WinME had similar problems with Win Media Player for a short time. Earlier this afternoon a friend of mine tried a movie with the Server Editon and had the same problem. He is using a SB Live 5.1. Oddly enough he does not experience the wine with audio CDs.
Drewdatrip Posted May 4, 2003 Author Posted May 4, 2003 Im experience this issue with a very simaler card, a soundblaster 512 gamer, it actully regiters as a Live....ill try the xp drivers..then ill repost=Drew
Drewdatrip Posted May 5, 2003 Author Posted May 5, 2003 I tryed the drivers from Creative, but im still getting the high pitch ring/hum with movies.. Anyone have a fix for this?=Drew
Doggie Posted May 5, 2003 Posted May 5, 2003 maybe.. email creative and ask them if there developing drivers for 2003 ?
MSNwar Posted May 5, 2003 Posted May 5, 2003 Maybe this will help a little. We replaced the OEM SB Live 5.1 with a Retail model and solved the problem today. Just for kicks I pulled the Retail model and shoved the OEM back in. Win2K3Server went through a hardware update and it works. No wine! Go figure?
Drewdatrip Posted May 5, 2003 Author Posted May 5, 2003 Now thats just odd.... hum i wonder why a retail would work any better...maybe the drivers are better....can u hook up a link to those drivers, maybe that would do the trick=Drew
MSNwar Posted May 5, 2003 Posted May 5, 2003 Click HerePlease wait about 20-30 minutes after time of this post Drew. Its upping and I'm goin to bed We used the W2K drivers.
Drewdatrip Posted May 6, 2003 Author Posted May 6, 2003 No sound blaster Live card found....odd....=Drew
zivan56 Posted May 6, 2003 Posted May 6, 2003 What do you expect? Its not like a company will have the most expensive and resource consuming sound cards in their server. I know most companies I've worked for have the standard build in ATI Rage 8mb video card in their server, and nothing else related to multimedia.
Drewdatrip Posted May 6, 2003 Author Posted May 6, 2003 Yea i guess its not ment to do this type of thing, but sort of odd that even such a basic and commen card doesnt work. Further, its odd that Win2k server has the proper drivers.=Drew
Doggie Posted May 6, 2003 Posted May 6, 2003 actually.. u should approach mickeysoft on this.. as they got the "supposed" approved drivers so ask them for your soundcard driver.. they should tell u whether they can or not
Drewdatrip Posted May 7, 2003 Author Posted May 7, 2003 Update: I poped in a Creative Live! Value Moved around the Pci devices and it autoDetected with the proper working driver. The sound is now working just fine. =Drew
