Philips Freeline X20L

[Max Tractor]

Hi

Been landed with this Philips Freeline X20L laptop, managed to source drivers etc, which was no mean feat, anyway, the sound driver that is from some semi supported philips site, is realtek AC97,installs ok, but no sound out of speakers.

Is anybody running/ran the same laptop, if so what sound driver were you using and what was your sound config for using the onboard speakers

Thanks

hello, realise this is an old post

Max tractor did you find the sound driver? and also what video driver did you use so the wide screen works properly?

Thanks

Hi

Yes the driver worked ok, it was the speakers on the laptop itself, just checked the drivers I downloaded, I have radeon omega drivers 3.8.330 and some others, I am not sure if the omega worked, can't recall. The site that I got most of them from was thetech guys, they must do the support for the laptop

just been to that site and seems to be no drivers, only a terms about dixon group etc

[sam_16v]

thanks for the quick response

ive allready found the tech guys ive been on the page below but there's no way of starting the download??? no button or automatic start etc

edit - cant post urls, but if you go on the site i cant get it to work

And talking of speakers not working, i took the whole laptop to pieces to rebuild it and realised ive left the speakers out, damn.

ive got the same thing with the dixons site, and i cant seem to find a way of finding a driver for the sound card at all, and there no sound what so ever, i get and error message when i try to get on the volume control.

So if you have details of the specific drivers id really appreciate that.

Thanks

yes I noticed that, just some terms about dixons group.

Like I usually do, I stored the drivers, if you need any give me a shout, and yes finding drivers for this pos was a real pain

[Max Tractor]

ah bummer sound not working, its incredibly quiet, like with my amp on full blast i can just hear it. Help!

[sam_16v]

when i open the media player that came with the sound driver it say "create secondary for getting property set extention failed" ??? and the sounds very quiet

[Max Tractor]

have you tried it with windows media player? Anything muted in sound control panel?

0xC00D11BA: Cannot play the file
Windows Media Player cannot play the file because there is a problem with your sound device, such as a sound card or sound controller. You may encounter this error message for one of the following reasons:

Your sound device is in use by another program. Quit other programs that may be using your sound device, and then try to play the file again.
Your sound device is not functioning properly. To troubleshoot the problem, see the Sound Troubleshooter in Windows Help or refer to your sound device's documentation.
You do not have a sound device installed on your computer. Install a sound device, and then try to play the file again.


Used windows media, winamp, and he media player that comes with the sound driver. I think its a driver problem. Ive got a legacy audio driver on aswell, ill have a go at deleting that tonight.

uninstall the driver, thyen clean it out with driver cleaner, try the new audio driver
