Hello parsec, hello wardog
>>"Do you mean the PC does not start up at all? Nothing at all happens, no HDDs starting or fans, etc?"<<
Yes, when the Maya44 XTe Soundcard is plugged in a "Asrock N3700M" Mainboard there is no
hdd starting, no bootup screen, no active display, or USB-Power. Power to the PCIe Bus seams to be working, because the optical SPDIF Output of the "Maya44 XTe" Soundcard is on. The "Reset"
or "Power On" Pins that normally initiate the bootup don't activate anything.
On the "Asrock N3700M" Mainbaord there a 3 Slots the card fits in mechanically. The
"Maya44 XTe" Soundcard should be "PCIe 1.0 x1", but as far as I know it should be
compatible in all 3 slots. A DVI-Capture Card that should be PCIe 1.0 x4" internally works with
no problems in the PCIe 2.0 x16 slot of the "Asrock N3700M".
I have tried the same "Maya44 XTe" Soundcard with a "Asrock N3700 ITX" and
with this combination there are no bootup problems. When the drivers are
installed it works fine with Windows 7.
The power supply appear to be not the problem because the ATX power supply I use for the
"Asrock N3700 ITX" does not change anything to the behavior of the "Asrock N3700M"
when the "Maya44 XTe" Soundcard is plugged in. I doesn't start no matter which power supply
used, I've tried some, when this PCIe Card is plugged.
I have both the "Asrock N3700M" and the"Asrock N3700 ITX" in regular use and there are really no known other issues.
If it helped I could make pictures or send you the Maya44 XTe Soundcard for your own
testing. I would be great if anybody knew if the successor of this card, the "Maya44ex"
can work on a "Asrock N3700M" when there is no fix.
