Win2K Audio driver does not work?

[phinoppix]

Audio is CMI8736 onboard. I have my disk driver and tried installing, but does not work. Two ways: 1) setup.exe, 2) via Add/Remove Hardware, but still does not work. What seems to be problem?

I downloaded a copy from the supplier, and it didnt work either.

Can anyone help?

TIA

Could it be disabled in the bios?

Nope! I have dual OS (w/ Win98 only) and audio there is good.

there's surprisingly little about CMI8736
on google.

what motherboard do you have? ===============

I had this audio problem in W2K as well but it was with an onboard Ali Audio. Conflict with my Soundblaster PCI sound card. Disabled Ali in the BIOS, got my sound back. Hope this helps.

I have VIA 694AS with CELERON 900 PC100. Cheapest in town but fits my programming works!

This board's havin lots of problems with Win2K. While my ASUS machine loads easily.

Am not in my working PC now. But I think I didn't coz the last time I installed 4in1 pack, BSOD randomly appears during startup.
I'l do another clean install and will post back the results.

The audio was CMI8738, my mistake.
I made a clean install. Now audio is working fine, using the CD driver. I didn't installed 4in1 pack yet, but this error appeared:

Stop:

I made similar posts at WinXP forum. same problem. Is it atapi.sys pertaining to CD driver? If so, am using a CD/RW drive when I installed Win2K.

TIA
