40324 2002-03-24 13:15:00 I have recentlyre-installed my (Win98) machine from scratch, and now have this iritating problem with my sound card. It works fine, until I do anything that makes a sound, at which point, all I get is a rapidly repeating sound, much like a stuck CD...

I have tracked down the most up to date drivers for my ES1938 sound card, pulled it out, re-installed it, changed it from one slot to another, but still nothing will stop this infernal noise...! Someone please help me before I cover it in lighter fluid and have a sacrificial burning...!!

Many Thanks

40325 2002-03-27 02:01:00 Sounds like the sound card is conflicting with another piece of hardware. Check in the Device Manager to make sure it has its own IRQ etc Guest (0)
40326 2002-03-31 12:07:00 Chances are it's been allocated IRQ9 (shared with ACPI) - this will cause it grief. Force it to another IRQ with device manager (usually sound cards can share an IRQ (but not IRQ9) with other devices). Guest (0)
