VIA AC97 Produces Scratchy Audio on Epox 8KHA

[Rokko Ralph]

I've installed the 4-in-1 and Audio Drivers off Epox driver page for the 8KHA motherboard, but all I'm getting is scratchy sound from the output. Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,
Dave

More information I left out:
I just clean formatted to 2000 from 2000.
The audio before that was fine.
The epox mother board, and the athlon chip were just installed.
Using the onboard sound. It's a good mother board so I don't know what's up.

Let me know if you have any ideas.

Shouldn't be a problem, lot of people running that board sucessfully.

Make sure all audio cables are routed away from devices which may induce static

Have you tried downloading and installing new audio drivers

Link is for the + version of the board

I think it is the same drive for the non + board

Thanks for your reply. I installed the 4 in one driver which should have covered it. I'll try this out though and let you know how it goes.

Anyone have any other ideas?
