Ok, sorry to be a pest people but one final question.

Why is it that when I remove my AGP graphics card (and use integrated) my sound card goes quiet!

As some of you may know, I cannot use my graphics card with my sound card as the graphics card interferes with sound. So, as I only have 1 AGP and 1 PCI slot I thought I would remove the graphics card and use the integrated one (I do not really need it as I don’t play PC games) but when I do this the sound card goes all quiet so that I can barely hear it - what is going on?

Someone please help!
Thanks again!
 
move the sound card away from the video card. The first PCI slot and the AGP slot are as far as thecomputer is concerned practically the same slot.

Beyond that, without actually being at your pc I couldnt offer much more help.
 
Check for an IRQ conflict. Moving the sound card might help. Another possibility might be if your BIOS allows you to manually set the interupt. Usually that's in advanced settings within the system BIOS, though the specific menu for your mobo would be easier to pull up if I was sitting in front of it.
 
You can't manually assign IRQ's in XP unless you switch to Non-ACPI computer.

That went right over my head Dreamliner - could you explain it to me if you have a moment? I'm guessing type of BIOS ?

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?
