Table 1. Sound Card Troubleshooting
Problem
Possible Cause
Action
After you have installed
the sound card, the
operating system does not
come up, comes up with
errors such as machine
checks, or does not allow
you to install the driver.
I/O address conflict
IRQ level conflict
DMA channel conflict
Defective ISA bus slot
(A conflict in any of these
areas can manifest itself
in numerous ways,
depending on which
operating system is being
used.)
Windows NT: Check the Windows
Sound System driver to see that the
hardware configuration matches the
settings you planned for in section
I. If the settings are different,
modify the driver. If the settings
are the same, run the Windows NT
Diagnostics and look at the
IRQ/Port Status section. Check to
see if a device is installed on your
system but is not displayed by the
diagnostic. If so, change your plan
from section I accordingly and
reenter the sound card settings.
DEC OSF/1: Use the console
>>>ISACFG -all
command to
check the configuration database for
conflicts or missing information.
OpenVMS: Use the console
>>>ISACFG -all
command to
check the configuration database for
conflicts or missing information.
Also check the VMS file,
ISA_CONFIG.DAT to see that the
sound card data is properly entered
and is not commented out.
All operating systems: Try the
sound card in a different ISA bus
slot.
