Coreper Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 i recently installed windows on my new computer, but when i wanted to install my audio drivers, i got this error message:translated:"The HD Audio-bus driver program is required but not found."does anyone know how to solve this?I have the Asus P5N32-E SLI motherboardthanks in advancebtw:here is a list of whats in my Device Manager Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-pops- Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 Have you installed the ASUS CD with the motherboard drivers and other accessory software? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coreper Posted February 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 yes i didbut when i try to install the audio drivers, i got the error message... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coreper Posted February 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 i solved the problemprepare for a stupid solution:it seemed the card wasnt inserted right...so i just checked, clicked it in and voila! it worked!but i just discovered another problem:my pc case is "loaded" [with electricity], how can i un-charge it? [i hope im making some sense here...] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doug Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 Just leave it plugged in with the switch off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coreper Posted February 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 well, i tried that, but it doesnt help actually > it keeps being "charged" [not loaded > loaded isnt the right word]someone told me to hold it against the heater [while its cold ofcourse] so the electricity will pass away via the heater...

doug Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 :clapping: Now please expand on "loaded with electricity!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-pops- Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 Are you not using three connections on your electricity supply? An earth connector will ensure that the case doesn't become charged. If it doesn't, there is something wrong with your supply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rong Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 Did you build this yourself? if so have you used the fibre washers and the spacers lifters whatever they are called. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarecrow Man Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 Ground it to something.If you mean the case itself is holding a charge, it may not be properly grounded or something inside is touching the case which shouldn't be.

Coreper Posted February 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 how do i ground it to something?i dont know if there is a part "loading" my case, but i think its my soundcardis it possible to check this somehow?ps: i checked this morning if the case was still loaded [it was of for like 12 hours], and it was clearbut after it was on for like 10 minutes it was loaded again...

Coreper Posted February 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 @doug:...? what do you mean?@pops:good tip! i noticed that my current power source hasnt got the earth connectors! ill try to find a source with earth connectors and use that one, but i just realised, that i havent got a power cord extender [verlengsnoer, is it called in dutch] with earth connections...@rong:yes it did build it myself, and i dont know what: "fibre washers and the spacers lifters" are...sorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boris Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 re. "fibre washers and the spacers lifters"spacers lifters - more commonly known as motherboard stand-offs - six sided fittings you screw into the motherboard tray and which you then mount the board on to in the case.fibre washers - sometimes fitted between the top of the standoffs and the bottom of the board to stop the metal of the standoffs touching any part of the bottom of the motherboard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coreper Posted February 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 i did apply the spacers lifters, but i didnt got any fibre washers, are these standard or required? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-pops- Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 Fibre washers are not normally essential. The solder "washer" on the motherboard at the holes should be isolated or part of the earth circuit of the whole machine.I'm fairly sure your problem is a lack of an earth connection to the machine - which can cause problems as chips etc. are VERY sensitive to stray high voltages.

Coreper Posted February 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 oh okdo you think this will work:attach a copper wire to my computer case, let it go down to the ground, and then to let it touch my radiator so it is groundedor do you know another easy way of grounding a pc case?EDIT:wowi just read something shocking:you must not connect your computer and all other electronics on a plug box with an earth connector in every connection slot, while the plug box is connected to a socket outlet without earth connection...is this true?that is what i have done...i didnt have any problems with it on my previous computer...

-pops- Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 Complicated way of putting it but, yes it is true. As a precaution you should always connect and disconnect electrical appliances - especially electronics with their power switches in the "off" position. All connection to the power source should be made by the switch on the machine and not by plugging/unplugging the connectors which can produce high voltage surges.

Coreper Posted February 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 im sorry, but i dont understand what youre saying therecould you put it a bit different? [im not from the US, you know] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-pops- Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 I'm not from the US either!What I meant was that if your electrical appliance has its own switch (most do, some don't) then the appliance should always be powered up and down using its own switch and not my plugging/unplugging at the mains connection. Bypassing the switch can cause high voltage spikes of power (for reasons we needn't go into now) which could possibly damage the equipment. This is especially important with modern electronic devices which are particularly sensitive to power spikes (even though they may be nominally protected internally).

Coreper Posted February 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 [i meant i english isnt my main language]but if i understand you right, you mean i shouldnt shut down my computer using the power switch from my computer, but from the computer...this sounds very unlogical to me...please explain more... [to be honest i didnt understand anything from what you just said... sorry] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-pops- Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 What I mean is that you SHOULD use the power switch on the instrument/machine and not the one on the wall or (worse) pull the plug from the wall socket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coreper Posted February 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 i dont use both:when i turn poff my computer, i do this by the shutdown menu in Windows XPthen my computer shuts down automatically.i never even touch the switch of my plug box, since there are other devices connected to it [like my radio and lamp]so...

-pops- Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 OK but remember that shutting down via Windows does not actually power down the computer - which you will see if you have a reasonably modern motherboard with diagnostic LEDs - these remain alight when the computer if nominally "OFF". It is only be physically switching the power off by the switch at the back of the machine (the PSU switch) that the machine is OFF meaning that no power is being supplied to its parts.

Coreper Posted February 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 i never tried nor felt the urge to completely shut down all the powerbut i did discover something just a minute ago:the distortion almost completely disappeared when i turned down the volume [mute] on all the other [not connected] audio ports, so sound is only send trough the left and right speakercould this have caused my problem?if so: isnt this very "bad": a computer isnt supposed to get charged by audio ports not being connected..., right....?
