can someone in kolkata help in verifying if the card is dead :ashamed:
I think even as per the Buyer...the card is not dead.... He is complaining of it being faulty...

I think the buyer neds to install XP to verify if the card is wrking all right:hap2:
 
Are you serious friends? U want me to change the OS for a soundcard to work????????????????????

Udit confirmed it works in Vista so thats why I took it. WHy will I change my OS. No Way...

Is there somone who is looking in this matter. I am expecting a solution fast. Please Mods. Help...
There is a limit to what we can do here. We can permanently ban the buyer or the seller and/or put him on a blacklist. However for that to happen one of you has to prove that the other is misleading.

There are a few endings that I can see.

1. You test the card on XP and if it works you keep it

2. You test the card at Udit's place and if it works, out of goodwill he keeps it and tries to sell it to someone else

3. Now in case the card is not working, refer to your warranty terms. Did you not check it, at his place, before you took it over?
 
@girish...

MOST cards have issues with vista...trust me...

Install XP and check it.... just check it.. It takes a hr....by 5.15 u be back online....
 
He does not want to test the card on his system. he confirmed that the card works fine in Vista and thats why I took. Check he mentioned the same above that he was using it in Vista for 1.8 yrs.

He is not in a state to troubleshoot. Anyone to help me plz.
 
@girish78

make sure if possible to flash new bios for the sound card does it work not sure :S

also did your update the bios verison to lastest one

may sure disable onboard sound at bios and tried detect the card if work

i hear the sound gone kaptu boom due to lack while playing music

that why it is physician damage so while not replacement capacitor or some part not sure ;)
 
Udit confirmed it works in Vista so thats why I took it. WHy will I change my OS. No Way...

^What's the harm in trying? At least ensure the card works with XP. Someone with the same card here's confirmed it has problems with Vista.

Just curious but what PSU did you hook this card into? Or does it not require a pwr connector?

EDIT: Got it. Siggy did not strike me.

Do you expect me to change my OS for a soundcard???? Will you change ur OS just for a sound card to work??? I dont think so.

He did not test the card before giving it to me. I had told him to test but he said it will work fine. So I took it trusting his words.

Blacklisting him is not the objective. My objective is very simple which is as follows :-

1. Get a redund
2. or Get someothing of equal value in exchange
3. If someone can make it work in Vista with all the settings as advertised in the card I will keep it.

Udit should have tested the card in front of me before giving it. That would have proved that his card was working but he did not do that. So I am forced to think that the card was faulty already when I took it.

If being Mods you offer limited help, then the whole purpose of bringing this matter to your attention was a waste. I thought I would get some help.

None have worked. I spoke with him at 10:40 pm and before I could explain the problem the power at my place went off. It came back at around 1 pm

he chatted 4/7/2009 10:37:32 PM to 4/7/2009 11:21:00 PM as seen in post #12

not enough time?

and I started doing all kinds of things to get this card working. When I said its working I meant the windows sounds came up. But I could not understand why the Bomb Blast noise during bootup and the music playback is crackling. Thats why I told him I am neither happy nor sad. My onboard was much better than that. Thats why I said all that. I thought the crackling issue is bcoz of some setting but the settings are very limited in Vista. I compared the manual and most of the settings are not there.

how do I know he tested & the testing did not kill it?

most of the settings not being there in vista is a known fact

I PMed Udit last ngiht at 3 am and informed him that card isnt working. He was offline after 1 am so how could I have informed him. I have done everything from my end to make this card work but it isnt. He is not willing to co-operate and wants me to find another system.

true

I don't have another system. When I asked him to test the card on his system before giving me he did not want to do that. He should have tested the card in front of me which he did not.

so not true

he came to my house & said he is in a hurry to go buy a keyboard

he never asked for a test

I had tested it on 1st March, 15th March & 6th April 2009

I have not spent my money just to look at the card. The card should work as described by Udit but it is not working. He changed Opams at his own risk, Maybe that has screwed the card. This card does not have warranty and I dont wanna carry on the headache of using this card. If he can make it work fine in Vista I am ok otherwise, Please help me get a refund.

I changed the opamps in September 2008

used it till 15th March 2009 on vista ultimate 64bit

I told him to test on madmaniac's pc who is ready to do it

As he had mentioned above, he does not care about TE and members. Why is he responding then? Today he called be a Crook. I did not even use any abusive language to him. I understand the medical condition he is in and have tried to behave as much nice as I can. But things have gone beyond limits.

crook is abusive?

you want to see my abusing?

TE is a virtual place so why would I care for it?

only few members who are good friends with me are cared for by me

and BTW UDIT I HAVE NOT CHANGED OPAMS.SO HOW CAN I KILL IT WITHOUT CHANGING IT. I AM NOT MAGICIAN OR GOD.

well that you are saying

maybe you did try & put the other one back after failing?

It does not require extra power. It is a PCI slot card. If this card has problems with Vista, Udit should have informed me about it and I would have never bought this card. He did not utter any problems in Vista with this card.
 
^^^

Let me be simple...

You are being a grinch now.. since you are the buyer i like to be on your side.. but since you being so naive i dont think anyone will support you if you continue to be like this......

Just check if the shit works on XP... you re-installed vista r8??....

The h/w is made for XP...just check..

or take it to his place and test it here.... i suppose he wont mind that...
 
Did u urself do a little research before buying the card? Or did u just take Udit words for granted and did not consult with any site?

It sure looks like a compatibility issue and maybe not a hardware issue...:S
Again just confirm if the hardware is faulty by cross checking with XP...:clap:

Udit, you now forgot I asked you to check the card and you said its nor required.... WoW. You seem to have wonderful memory.

If you cant trust that I have not changed OPAMPS how do u expect me to trust that the card was working fine before taking. In TE everything happens on Trust and if you dont know that, you should not deal.

Yes Crook is abusive. Did I use any profane words with you. That is because I respect people as individuals and was a bit more careful with you considering your condition. You have crossed all lines. The first thing u tell me today when I reported the problem is that I spoilt ur card. What a joke. How can I spoil a card which was faulty from the very beginning?

When you buy a hardware, you buy it for its feature and after your own research and not because some1 says something. If the card doesnt work on XP then its a cause of problem, but you are suppose to do all the t/s like updating your bios(sometimes) or changing your OS to the recommended one and what not to make it work. You are not buying from your local favourite dealer that if the hardware doesnt perform to your whims then you ask for a refund as simple as that.

I will mind as he could spoil my pc in anger? :S

I repeat test on another pc (preferably madmaniac's) & if it works i'll think of a refund

I agree, if promised that it works with Vista, it should. Why do you expect him to use another OS. Ok you can have multiple OSes at a time but that doesnt mean that he switches OSes just for sound.

Girish, there is no way that the facts can be verified and I dont think the mods can point a finger too at anyone without proof.

I think it is a lesson learnt if the card has gone bad. You should not trust anyone and insist on checking it if you are already at his place. I know you might have trusted him and discounted your urge to test keeping in mind his disability but you can clearly see that the same is not being dished out to you.
 
That is why u should have checked the card before u took it from him....or atleast tested it properly before saying that it workid fine...
That's is always RULE NO 1 for a buyer.....check the product properly before taking it from the seller
