A "New PCI device found" pops up every time I boot the computer. The thing is i've haven't installed anything new. I've unplugged the SB 5.1 soundcard (the only thing using PCI) and it stills pops up. Also does after reinstalling the soundcard. What is going on?
Re-install the Intel Inf chipset drivers with the soundcard plugged in and see if it persists. One explaination is you have an onboard NIC on the motherboard which uses the PCI-E x1 interface and you could be using a dedicated NIC, in which case you wont have drivers for the onboard. Same could be said for any other piece of hardware, like sound card for example if you have dedicated sound... if it isn't disabled in BIOS
Check your device manager and see if a new sound device or unknown device has a yellow question mark beside it. IIRC, your video card also does HD audio so you may be detecting the ATI audio device on your video card.
There is the exclamation yellow mark on the PCI Device thing because it doesn't have any drivers. So, i've already pointed it to search on the chipset drivers CD that came with the mobo, and it finds nothing of use on it. I have no idea what this is, not even exactly what I did (if I did something) or when it started to happen.
yes, it's the hdmi integrated audio. download the driver here. http://game.amd.com/us-en/drivers_catalyst.aspx?p=xp/hdmiaudio-xp all the cards from the hd2000 series up have the hdmi audio onboard.
Wicked. It was it. Im just wondering why the official CD drivers didn't included this, or why the PC hasn't asked for this "missing PCI" before. Anyway, I honestly have no idea how this HDMI integrated audio works, or what is intended to do. I guess this only works for devices that support HDMI, but could you elaborate a bit? Thanks.
