Troubleshooting D-7
Resolving I/O
Conflicts Conflicts between your audio card and another peripheral device may occur if your card and the
other device are set to use the same I/O address.
To resolve I/O conflicts, change the resource settings of your audio card or the conflicting
peripheral device in your system using Device Manager in Windows 95/98.
If you still do not know which card is causing the conflict, remove all cards except the audio card
and other essential cards (for example, disk controller and graphics cards). Add each card back
until Device Manager indicates that a conflict has occurred.
To resolve hardware conflicts in Windows 95/98:
1. Click the Start button, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
2. In the Control Panel window, double-click the System icon.
3. In the System Properties dialog box, click the Device Manager tab.
4. Under the Sound, Video And Game Controllers entry, select the conflicting audio card
driver—indicated by an exclamation mark (!)—and click the Properties button.
5. In the Properties dialog box, click the Resources tab.
6. Make sure that the Use Automatic Settings check box is selected, and click the OK button.
7. Restart your system to allow Windows 95/98 to reassign resources to your audio card and/
or the conflicting device.

installed the Sound Blaster Live! card. Windows is trying to match the drivers to the removed
audio card.
