Windows Forum / Windows Me / General Topics / February 2006Sound driver installation MS-6323
Hello, I am sitting here with a troublesome sound problem. Motherboard MS-6323 with onboard sound + Windows ME. I have installed ME, and the Via 4in1 drivers. Finally tried installing the sound drivers and it is Hell !!!. When I begin the installation, I get the message that "VIA AC'97 Audio chipset is not enabled on this system! Please enable it first on the Bios then run this setup again." Meanwhile Windows installs the VIA AC 97 Audio Controller(WDM) which I see from Device Manager by Sound/Games..... under the link is only Controller + Joystick. What I do is delete the windows installation and restart the PC; I enter the BIOS and in the Advanced Setup there is : Onboard AC 97 Audio -Enable/Disable/Auto Codec variable Rate -Enabled Onboard Legacy Audio- Enabled MPU 401- Disabled. I have tried onboard ac97 audio on Enabled and also on Auto but it doesn't seem to do the trick. I have enabled MPU 401 but no way. What am I missin out? Drivers are from the MSI site. The board was originally with Packard Bell (IMedia) stuff, but the harddisk crashed and there is a new harddisk. The restore stuff is all gone with the old hdd. Of course the guarantee period is years over so no support of contact. PC works fine in all aspects except the Sound. Any tips appreciated !!!!!!! Sammy Set all BIOS sound options to Enabled. Reboot to Safe Mode Open Device Manager Remove ALL Sound &Multimedia devices Remove ALL error-flagged devices Remove ALL entries in the 'Other Devices' branch - if present Reboot to Normal Mode - Windows will reinstall the required drivers, hopefully curing your problem.

Rebooted and allowed windows to work but then it only ends up like I said installing the AC97 Audio controller + Joystick. When I try to run the setup driver from MSI, it says that "VIA AC'97 Audio chipset is not enabled on this system! Please enable it first on the Bios then run this setup again." and that is the end. > Sammy > Set all BIOS sound options to Enabled. [quoted text clipped - 36 lines] > > contact.

I realise I'm coming to this thread over a year late, but I just though I'd point this out for the benefit of Googlers everywhere looking fo help on this subject... There are multiple versions of the MS-6323, and not all of them use th VIA sound chip. I suspect this board has the Creative CT5880 on board and that's why your driver says the VIA AC97 "isn't enabled".. -- Peet42 That was one of the reasons why I recommended that the OP use the MSU update utility to check for drivers....shame he never responded!
