Troubleshooting
[1] Check list if Audio Controller not found or IRQ not assigned to FM801
1) Change Slot: Insert the Audio Card into another PCI Slot. Reboot.
2) if problem persists, please Adjust BIOS Settings.
3) Adjust BIOS Settings:
a. Getting into BOIS (usually, hit "F1", "Del" or "F10" after Reboot)
b. Get into the Section with title "PCI/PnP"
c. Make sure it reserves enough IRQ for PCI devices
d. If there is "Reset Configuration" option, change it to "Yes/Enable".
e. If there is "PnP OS" option, change it to "NO".
f. Reboot.
[2] Check list if a SB Game is not working
1) For the best result of DOS game play and to reduce potential problem(s) of the
additional layer of routing. Please change BIOS Setting to reserve PCI IRQ 5/7/9 for
PCI Devices.
[3] Adjust SB IRQ/IO/DMA for some DOS Games
1) Some DOS games may need certain fixed resource (IO, IRQ and DMA)
2) This adjustment can be achieved through the INSTALL program.
3) Make sure that IRQ/IO/DMA resource is available, then choose the IRQ/IO/DMA
which is good for the games by running the INSTALL again.
