My computer i don't have any sound on my computer, i recently installed a sound card on my computer, and it keeps crashing, i have an emachines desk top, T3604
I also have T3604 Emachine and it has VistaHomeBasic installed
and it also crashes
I am forced to downgrade to Windows XP Professional or Home Edition because Vista Home Basic doesnt come with proper
drivers and configuration to boot correctly I tried VistaHomePremium and same problem exists
Emachines could care less about this crappy pc

Yes,.....a pre-built computer company has a BIOS program written especially for them. That is, for each model line of computer........ ..............GENERALLY..............
However, IMHO I think the standardized Intel BIOS program was used, and not specific to eMachines, or this model line.
Just an assumption, and you know what they say about assuming. I leave it in your capable hands.
(No, not advertising. Just a good photo of the motherboard, if you slightly scroll down)
Look at the chart below the photo of the mobo. (MOtherBOard) Expansion Capabilities:
A) Two PCI slots (Two PCI Conventional bus connectors. Long white slots)
B) One PCI Express x1 bus add-in card connector.
(PCI Express x1 slot. The longer PCI-Express x16 slot is on top. Then the two long white PCI slots. Then the shorter black PCI-Express x1 slot)
You can use a Sound Card in an available white PCI slot, or if the black PCI-Express x1 slot is open.
Yes, I know, I'm getting to it, lol!
The Onboard Audio -> Intel High Definition Audio, doesn't have an output mixer feature.
My onboard audio - Realtek, (And on an Intel mobo), does.
[ Intel 915G (Southlake) motherboard. Has a Realtek audio chip, ALC860. I use the Realtek Audio Manager. Has Sound Effects, and an equalizer. What happened from the Intel 915G to the Intel 945GCL INTEL? Sheesh! ]
Suggest this if you have an open, available PCI slot,
(Usually only 16-bit. Plugs into a USB port where the contacts are not gold plated, as on a PCI sound card, or PCI-Express x1 sound card. I'm old school, and probably need to evolve ; )
If you cant find your CD, just go to https://secure.tx.acer.com/RCDB/Main.aspx?brand=emachines and you can get it online.. Probably is going to cost you $10 maybe. It's cheap.
But it could be just a Driver or Software issue. I would update the Audio Driver... go to: http://www.emachines.com/support/drivers.html and locate your PC Model the Download the Audio Driver. It shows 2... use the first one. If that fails try the second one... the second one will write over the first...
If both fail... then if you want to do it youself... head to a PC store. If you are mechanically inclined and can read directions... I would try it youself. You will need a PCI Audio Card... Install it at the very bottom or last Slot in the System. Of course Power unplugged and again follow the instructions.
That system has an Intel network controller, so you should be able to find the driver for it on the Intel support site: http://www.intel.com/p/en_US/support?iid=gg_work+home_support_downloads
But the link on the eMachines support site should also work: http://downloads.emachines.com/drivers/network/Intel_Network_9_6_31_0.zip (it is a 84 MB download!)
Hi, you should have the driver CD for soundcard as it is shipped with the new sound card - if not you must download the driver for the soundcard not for the Chipset of the computer. Look at the soundcard - normal the driver manufacturer and model is shown on the "biggest" chip fixed on the soundcard - donwload the driver as shown on the chip of the soundcard from the manufacturer and install. (ensure you select driver for you operating system)
i have no sound driver
