| 203444 | 2003-12-27 00:29:00 | Dear Friends, I have an old Celeron 466 system running ME. My techie brother pointed out there is a USB option on the motherboard, all I need is a cable with a connector and to enable the option in the BIOS. Trouble is, when I enable the option in the BIOS, it wipes out my sound card - I can only get these little beeps out of it. Any ideas about what I'm doing wrong? Joe Davies |

| 203446 | 2003-12-27 01:27:00 | Agreed. It might be that the BIOS allocates some resources to the USB interface, regardless of whether they have been previously allocated to, say, a sound card by the plug and pray system. ;-) Try removing the soundcard in the hardware manager, then letting it get installed again. That might fix the conflicts. (You should be able to see the yellow warning in hardware manager if we are right). |
