IBM 760XD SOUND DRIVER

Plugging the internal speaker into the white "password clear" jumper hole next to the CD-ROM bay did the trick. What are they for? When I bough my EL years ago for still EUR with defective keyboard , the only defect was that one of these cables was loose. Older versions of Mwave DSP will not function properly and will prevent your ThinkPad from using the power management features under Windows In reality in most cases this is not necessary; it is sufficient only to remove the sheet metal cover to access the electronics, unless you want to reach the bottom of the main board or the CPU card. While the EL ones have an uncovered semitransparent black plastic diaphragm and open chassis holes, my XD ones have a shiny silver sheet aluminium grill with big round holes in front of a transparent diaphragm, and the chassis holes on the back are glued tight with a black felt ring. Apparently the drivers for this alsowork on the

I also had to install the harddisk from my EL since my XD specimen lacked it. Also the relatively thick felt on the rear chassis holes likely works 760xe like a Variovent a Dynaudio patented, non-linear air duct for speaker cabinets that damps large amplitudes strongerand also 760xx different hole sizes in the aluminium front cover certainly do something important like a sonic lense to spread the sound wave or even partly reflect it back to the diaphragm to interact with partial vibrations.

The joystick jack needs a special plug that is hard to replicate by my own. The service manual claims that the entire system board assembly has to be taken out of the case to remove any cards.

I don't think sojnd my laptops run really hot my EL consumed only 18W without drive accesshowever both laptops always odour somehow pungent of ozone? No registered users and 4 guests. Thus I took out the speaker, carefully peeled off the felt ring and pryed with a screwdriver to bend the sheet metal chassis and cover of the playing speaker until distortion nearly disappeared.

May 14, Posts: The odor is probably due to the bad fan allowing the system to overheat. I have a MDSP sound card.

The XD speakers play at least twice as loud and sound quite bright and much more powerful. Thus the usable screen area is in many games smaller than with the old EL. I expect that the voice soune rattled against the magnet gap beause either something was bent or melted or windings came loose by thermical overload.

I'm trying to put win95 or 98 on it so either driver would be just fine. May 18, Posts: Please remember to be considerate of other members. My 760zd and XD have very different loudspeaker types. To re-install it, insert the cable back into the 76x0d and gently push the top down to lock it.

Only at high volume there are sometimes small residues of crackling, but it distorts only barely more than the other. Unfortunately my right speaker was damaged and thus made a bright crackling distortion also in bass sounds, which was very disturbing. Also FM works great.

XD trouble & awful Mwave sound (HOW-TO:replace Mwave) - Thinkpads Forum

The sound quality during Windows 98SE is a bad joke; DOS games have a lot of static, and MIDI files sound horrible; the pitch of some voices is very off, pitchbend and vibrato is apparently ignored completely and in some songs a triangle? Hello, I'd like to ask fellow oldschool-legacy-thinkpadders for help. Installed in the XD they kept the same characteristics. Best of luck getting your's back to full fidelity. I also glued a layer of window insulation foam rubber on the magnet and the rechargable battery to prevent rumbling.

The dead batteries are also a result of age and not exclusive to the XD. Which one would 7600xd choose for a desktop?

Track this discussion and email me when there are updates. I ibj loaded a new copy of win98se onto my laptop. The foil cables are pushed in a special connector socket that has a moveable top part. Plugging the internal speaker into the white "password clear" jumper hole next to the CD-ROM bay did the trick.

Note - the "D" in the model number signifies the machine had the updated chassis with provision for fitment of a CD-ROM drive, or when using an adapter plate, an internal floppy disk drive.

I manged this way to strongly reduce the crackling, but could not eliminate it completely. I think they assume that you'll have the disc from IBM.
