With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

Compaq Deskpro EN Audio drivers

Asked by GamerXLT in General Computer Systems, Personal Computers

Tags: deskpro, compaq, driver, audio, en

Hi, I don't know if this question would exactly fit the 'Hardware/Desktops' subject area, but I thought it would be best for now. Well I have a Compaq Deskpro EN and I'm running Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Enterprise (I know I know, wierd to have a corporate operating system on a slower machine, but this time it makes sense because the operating system is faster than Microsoft Windows XP Professional on load times, etc.). The thing about this operating system is that it doesn't load the audio drivers that Windows XP Professional does since it's not expected to have an older audio card on a server running on a new older operating system.

The first question I have is, how do I find out what kind of Compaq Deskpro EN do I have? I ask this because I've rigorously looked through the Compaq/HP website and I have no clue which model this is... It seems there are so many different versions of this Compaq Deskpro EN that it's 'seemingly' impossible to differenciate them from one another except for actual system specs, which I also can't find for each model. Everytime I try looking for a model's specific specs... I get generic names and titles with little info. The only big details I can give you about this comp when i bought it is this...

Processor: Pentium II 400Mhz
CD-ROM Drive: Yes
Default Hard-drive: 6 Gigs
Default Video Card: 4Mb ATI Rage, 2XAGP
(Default) RAM: 64MB

*What I mean by default is that I'm assuming those are the specs you'll probably find in the factory package from Compaq (back in the day).


OK, once we've found out the real model number of this Compaq, then we should be able to know what kind of sound card is in this thing. So my second question: What kind of sound card do I have and where can I find the drivers?
Like I said earlier, I looked all over the Compaq website and found some audio drivers and such for different systems... I tried out quite a bit and to no avail I've found none that seem to work...
If anyone can help, Thank You in advance.
