Default GA-7VRXP Issues

I just got hooked up with at GA-7VRXP and after hooking everything up and the installation sweeping through, at the end the system finds an Unknown Device and wont find the drivers anywhere on the mobo CD or the Win98 CD.
I also am without sound even though it looks like all the drivers are there...

Does anyone know what this Unknown Device might be?¿?

Specs:
Athlon 1800+
40GB Maxtor HDD
256 Corsair PC2700
Viper V770 Non-Ultra

I spend all day helping people install hardware and Im stumped...

LOL, sounds like the sound if you are without sound.

Anyway what soundcard are you useing??? If you are using a PCI sound card(audigy, etc.....) make sure your onboard sound is disabled first.

Im just using the onboard sound SB128... I dont have a printer or scanner hooked up... In Device Manager everything under sound looks fine, but I may just have to break down and buy a new sound card, everything else is workin fine...

If you are without sound, go into the BIOS and ensure that onboard sound is enabled.

Well the Unknown device is not my sound.
After playing with sound settings I finally heard the faintest sounds comin from my speakers so I plugged some better speakers in and Ill be darned I had sound...

Hmmmm...not your sound? Is everything working properly them? It could also be an on board modem.

I would remove the hardware from the device manager, restart and go into the BIOS, and ensure that that the AC '97 modem is disalbed, should be right next to the sound. Then on restart the comp shouldnt find any hardware. Its worth a try at least.

This is the first board I have had RAID and the U133 connections... Lookin in BIOS and turned off the RAID detecting it does at start up and not instead of popping up everytime I restart saying new hardware, it just sits there like a good little Unknown Device...
All my drivers are up to date from VIA, Creative, nVidia, Promise, and all that...

GA-7VRXP? isnt that a gigabyte board? if it is... try going to giga-byte.com and looking for the newest drivers for the board, maybe that will have what you need.

You need to go into the BIOS and disable the Promise Raid.

I had to do this on my board.

And make sure you put the CD in in windows, and install the USB2 drivers. The usb2 ports will work as usb1 without the drivers btw.

If that still doesn't help, maybe it's the onboard InfraRed controller? Or network if your not using it maybe.
