No Audio in windows 2003 enterprise server sp2

ilangovanc · 01-04-2009, 09:35 PM

Hi,

There is no audio after changing the OS to windows 2003 enterprise server with SP2.

I am not sure if the sound is related to below driver missing problem.

There is no driver available for Multimedia Audio controller. I could not update the driver as it throws " could not install hardware because the wizard cannot find matching software".

My computer details are:

Motherborad:845GL-W83627X (Socket 478)
Memory:760 Mb (777 680 Kb) A0: 256 Mb(Other,SDRAM,0 ns) A1: 512 Mb(Other,SDRAM,0 ns)
Video card:Intel(R) Extreme Graphics Controller (Microsoft Corporation) (64.0 Mb): 1152 x 864 - True Color (32 bit)
Sound card:82801DB/DBL AC'97 Audio Controller (ICH4/ICH4-L B0 step) by Interl corporation
Network cards:Compact Wireless-G USB Network Adapter with SpeedBooster

Operatiing system :Windows 2003 Server Enterprise English 5.2 (build 3790 Service Pack 2)

Kindly help me!

Thanks!

well, first off 2003 server is a sever hence no audio. if you really need sound, first start the sound service .. its disabled by default.

hi ilangovanc

this is not big problem, if u have the sound driver so pls installed it with an audio player.

if u have no sound driver, so arrange with your any best friend.

that;s it boss.

Interesting replies so far, but I'd say that you need to install the drivers for the audio hardware that you have in your computer. Normally the drives for that can be found on the driver CD that came with your motherboard (if you're using a standard desktop oriented motherboard with on board audio) or your computer. If you're using a server specific computer, like a Dell or HP server, there is typically no audio hardware. Do keep in mind that some hardware vendors don't provide audio drivers for 2003 server, however, often the windows 2000 drivers will work. No guarantee, but sometimes they do work.

Not true .. server 2003 sound drives are often provided ..

Sounds like your whiteboxing, and since AC'97 is supported on 2003 there are drivers.

Did you check the audio servce? unless you started it manualy, I can tell you right now its stopped.

Got to go with Bilbus. Even if you have the drivers the audio service is disabled by default and you need to go in and manually turn it on.

Server 2003 and intel onboard AC97 are not big friends. Turn on the audio service and then try the Microsoft Update for Server 2003 KB 901105
