Volume ControlWin 2000
Volume Control not in sys tray. I know it has to do with drivers, but I'm unable to determine exactly what drivers I need. I've run Belarc and in Multimedia it shows MPU-401. I've tried several drive sites but not able to find what I need. It is an onboard audio. Earl MPU-401 is not your sound device, its a driver

I took a chance that it has SiS chips and downloaded their Audio and Network drivers and installed them. I now have sound and network access. Thanks.

Driver IRQL not less or equal Kmode Excpetion not handled. Might need a little steering here on the MB. The Belarc report, under Main Circuit Board indicates BIOS American Megatrends. I believe the MB to be a K7-810XLM. How can I determine the exact MB model. I assume with that model number I can then find the proper drivers.

While you are there, identify the model number of any chip for which you need a driver. The ethernet chip, for example. Searching for K7-810XLM, you'll find that it also maps to M817LMR, model codes from Amptron. <http://www.amptron.com/html/biosCode.html> Amptron however does not manufacture these boards. At various times, they've rebranded boards from PCChips, Asrock and ECS among others. If you search for ("K7-817XLM"|M817LMR) filetype:pdf, you'll get a few hits on the manual for your momboard, I got it from <http://www.techoservices.com/manuals/K7-817LM/817s13a_2.pdf>. Cross-referencing your visual inspection and the manual, you'll see your momboard uses the Ali1647 northbridge, AMI BIOS and realtek chips for NIC (u21) & sound (ALC100 Chipset for the ac'97 codec). The specs, components and layout are identical to the ECS K7AMA v1.5. ECS K7AMA drivers are located here: <http://www.ecs.com.tw/ECSWebSite/Downloads/ProductsDetail_Download.aspx?detailid=81&DetailName=New&DetailDesc=&CategoryID=1&MenuID=6&LanID=0> If you prefer to download the drivers for the individual chips, go directly to the OEM (realtek): <http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/> hth, -Craig
