Damn you all, I saw Deus Ex for a tenner in a shop yesterday, bought it, and played it until rather later than I intended, when I really needed some sleep. (At least I was awake when I got an important phone call later though. See! Computer games can be socially responsible!)
Short rant. When I reinstalled Windows, everything stopped working. I had to dig out and reinstall every last third-party driver because, guess what, Windows doesn't tell you shit. And in fact I discovered last night that the chipset itself... didn't come with any drivers! Even though it says that it does! Because they preinstall them! And so nobody ever notices! Except if something goes wrong, and then they pay for tech support because they can't fix it themselves!
so I managed to find the right drivers on the net, and I eventually got sound. But I'd just like to emphasise the point that Windows is a pig to reconfigure and install, people just think that it's simple because the manufacturers do it for them, try doing anything apart from putting in the simplest PnP widget and you'll see. Thank you.
Linux found my sound without me even asking it to, and configured everything perfectly.  |
