Jasonbucy Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 How can you tell what built in audio device you have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ganzhimself Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Get a Knoppix Live CD, and boot into it. Then open the terminal and type this command: cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#0 If that doesn't look right, keep trying with different numbers after codec#... The first line should show you what your sound device is. If you tell us what kind of system you have, we may be able to just tell you what it is.

Oxtie Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 You may also get details in documentations and Motherboard manufacturer's website. If you do not know much, in XP or Vista download and run this app http://www.halfdone.com/Development/Unknow..._14-20_Beta.zip It may help you Just make sure your onboard audio device is enabled in BIOS... (for this utility to properly detect your device) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dstar Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 Hi I have a related question. I tried the steps above and in the Unknown Devices program it gives me: * Windows Description - SigmaTel High Definition Audio CODEC * Hardware ID - FUNC_01&VEN_8384&DEV_76A0&SUBSYS_102801F2&REV_1002 * Device Category (Class) - Sound, video and game controllers * Enumerator - HDAUDIO * Detected Chip Vender - Sigmatel Inc (??) * Detected Chip Device - <unknown, id=76A0> * Detected Vender - <unknown, id=01F2> * Detected Device - <unknown, id=1028> I'm not sure what codec I should use now with the patcher. It doesn't give me a sigmatel number Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
