Lost sound

[TheWill]

I have a imb thinkpad, its somewhat old, and had redhat when i bought it. The problem is that i can get my sound to come back on, and then when i tried to download the drivers again. It booted all of the sound drivers off of my computer. So now i have no sounddriver at all. Can anyone help

[TheWill]

Nevermind Fuck it i just dont care anymore

That's the spirit!

they have databases online that tell you what sound equipment your thinkpad came from (or call IBM?) - then you will know which driver to download and re-install. It happened to my friend.

Just download the driver directly from IBM. :tard:

Just download the driver directly from IBM. :tard:


I did that, and it is still not coming back up :(

[WiggiE]

What OS is on it now?

[TheWill]

I am running XP right now, the only download for the soundfusion driver was for windaows 2000, so i installed it

[WiggiE]

why don't u give us a model number on that lappytop

also, if you know the specific model and brand of audio chipset that would be great too

[TheWill]

IBM a21m 2628 f2u. The audio stuff i dont know though, but i know it is using crystal fusion for sound. The driver i downloaded from IBM fucked my computer up so i had to take it off. Thanks for all the help guys

Well from everything I find on the internet, it appears that you have a Cirrus Logic CS4614/22/24. That could be the reason the driver from IBM messed up your machine.

What I would suggest doing is rolling back the driver (to the original one that was installed with winXP).

[TheWill]

Yeah i did that last night, i just restored it back to a couple of days ago when it sort of worked, but it still isnt working.

[WiggiE]

You could always try reinstalling winXP :tard:

Any luck with the repair install?

[TheWill]

havent really had time to try it yet.. but i will let ya know
