Cirrus Sound chip in HP Pavilion not recognized after SE to Win98

[skywriter3]

I'm running an HP Pavilion with 466mHz Celeron and 200 megRAM - so that 100% CPU usage was pretty shocking, when only opening windows explorer.<br><br>Anyway, I've been thru the wringer, and microsoft says that HP's version of Win98SE is defective. I loaded straight win98 and everything runs really well except that I cannot recognize the onboard sound chip (HP says its a Cirrus) and the downloaded Cirrus drivers aren't recognized. HP tech suggests I install another sound card for my speech-to-text. <br>Was never able to use speech recognition on the original Pavilion setup anyway, but would like any suggestions for recognizing that PCI chip. Downloads from Cirrus didn't work with their &quot;setup&quot; and pointing to the driver on the HP disk wasn't recognized either.<br><br>suggestions?<br><br>-mcy<br>
