    Got buzzing sound in both headphone/speakers on dell 3567 motherboard. Culprit was the IC itself.

      Exclude software issue first, IIRC this generation of Realtek audio codecs have poor drivers for modern Windows (ALC880 too). May need to make sure all effects/enhancements are disabled in the audio control panel.

          Onkyo HT-R390 no sound output, video output ok
          by FrancescoV
          Good morning everyone,
          I'm trying to repair an onkyo ht-r390 that has no sound output, despite the volume being at maximum, the rest seems to work; the video output signal (coming from an hdmi input) is present, but the audio is absent. Similar situation if I send an audio signal from any input I have no output.

          The firmware reported is the following:
          M:1.00/11107BLP
          D:?.??/????????
          O:1.00/11107AL

          The DSP firmware given the question marks seems corrupt.

          On the BCHDM-0678 - 25140678 - QPWBCHDM0678A0 board the chip that usually seems...

          Uniden bearcat UBC 360clt no sound output
          by Jedi134
          Hi I have inherited the above desktop scanner, all seems to work correctly but there is no sound output. The only sound I do get from the speaker is the beep confirmation when you press a key. No output from the headphone socket either. Not even radio static with squelch fully turned down, tried a reset by holding 2, 9, and hold buttons but still no sound, does anyone have any experience with these scanners, thanks.

          ASUS TUF GAMING Z790-PLUS WIFI - BIOS Help
          by grimacelord
          Hello,

          I have spent the last hour on this and I guess this is just over my head, so here I am.

          I have an ASUS TUF GAMING Z790-PLUS WIFI motherboard here that needs to have the BIOS updated in order to accept the latest CPUs.

          The BIOS chips seem to come as a set of two: GD25B64ESIG and GD25B128ESIG. My guess is one of them is a fail-safe for the main BIOS? I really don't know. Or one of them is ME and other is BIOS? I don't know.

          Anyway, I took dumps of both chips and then downloaded the latest update for this motherboard from ASUS's website...

          ASUS TUF X570-PLUS doesn't power on: no VRM_EN signal.
          by ShadowAi
          Hello, I have an issue with the motherboard. Specifically, it doesn't power on, more precisely, the POST initialization doesn't occur.

          Let me start from the beginning, the motherboard suddenly stopped working one day. There are no beep signals from the speaker, and the debug LEDs are not lighting up. After inspecting it under a microscope and using thermal imaging, I didn't find anything that could be damaged.

          After that, I began voltage measurements, in which I noticed the absence of VDDQ, VDDP, VTT, and VPP lines. Later, I checked if there is an EN state on these lines,...

          [TUTORIAL] fix asus bios with bios from asus web support (by razor_amd)
          by razor_amd
          With ASUS, not everything is quite so simple. I will show you my way. It may be longer or harder but it is the right way to do it in my humble opinion.

          For example, you can have 3 similar ASUS motherboards, all being the same model, all of which will have different BIOS versions.

          I will give you an example and my version of preparing BIOS from ASUS website and in the process I am always cleaning Intel ME while doing it so you have fully cleaned BIOS, no DMI data, no password, nothing.

          This is the picture of 3 similar ASUS motherboards, all of them being X555LD...
