SY-P4I845PEISA/GEISA Quick Start Guide

I’m using a 400MHz FSB CPU, I cannot find the DDR 166MHz option in the BIOS, why?

The CPU used should be 133MHz FSB to have PC2700 support.

VGA Issue

I cannot set my VGA to go higher than 16 color (640x 480).

1.Make sure that you have installed the Intel Inf driver.

2.Install/ re-install the VGA driver.

After wake-up from Suspend to RAM or Standby mode, the screen has no display but I can hear the hard disk operating

Check your VGA card’s manufacturer for a driver update, or make sure the VGA card supports the Suspend to Ram function.

Audio Issue

How can I disable the on-board Audio?

Go to the SOYO Combo Feature in the BIOS setup, then set the “onboard audio” to disable.

I cannot get the sound working on my system.

1.Check if the speaker wire is connected to the line out connector in the M/B.

2.Check if the speaker power is powered on.

3.Install the audio driver supplied on our driver disc.

4.Check BIOS setup if “onboard audio” is enabled.

5.If sound already installed, check our website for audio driver update.

The sound is working in my system, but when I play CD music from the CD-ROM, I do not get any sound. What is wrong?

This is because the 3-wire audio cable from the CD-ROM to the on-board CDIN1 connector in the M/B is not connected. See manual for location of CDIN1.

The sound from my sound card is distorted when Windows start. What is wrong?

If you are using an ISA sound card, please make sure the IRQ needed for the sound card is set to 'Legacy ISA' in the bios. In other word, if your ISA sound card takes IRQ5, then set IRQ5 to 'Legacy ISA'.
