Terratec correctly installing pci cards User Manual
Only when the card appears here without any question or
exclamation marks is it fully functional. In case the card should
display errors here the software installation should be checked.
Should the card not appear in the Device Manger, check if there
is a menu listing called „Unknown Device“ or „Other Component“
directly under the computer name at the top of the list. If the sub-
menu listing here is labelled „Audio controller for Multimedia“ (by
soundcards),then the driver is not properly installed. Here one
should carry out the installation routine again by right-clicking on
the device and selecting to reinstall the driver.
b. Is the card included in the PCI Device Listing menu?
If the card is not displayed in the Device Manager, the PCI
Device Listing should be controlled. This is displayed by the PC
BIOS directly, and very briefly, after the POST (Power On Self Test
i.e. RAM test, HDD detection, etc...) and can be paused on
screen by using the pause button. The right moment is quite
difficult to hit, as it is usually less than one second long. Here,
manufacturer and configuration information is displayed for all
installed devices. Should a Multimedia Controller be listed here,
make note of the manufacturer and device ID as well as the IRQ
number reported and contact the technical support department.
Should the card not appear in this list then the physical mounting
should be checked. If no error is found here (i.e. card fell out,
crooked, etc...)
the technical support should be contacted as well.
And that successfully concludes the TerraTec card installation, after
which you may begin exploring the many functions and Easter eggs :).
