Yeap.
If you're short of IRQ's you can also try to set things up so that the shared IRQ's are only being utilized by devices which are never used at the same time. E. G. You NORMALLY will not use the Network card and the TV tuner at the same time, unless you are capturing to a network, device. (This is just an example.) Or as another example, you may have a SCSI scanner. You probably will not be scanning and watching TV at the same time, so set the tuner and scanner to share IRQs. Moving the card from one slot to another changes which device it shares an IRQ with. If you have 5 slots and AGP... 54321A A (for AGP) and 1 normally share an IRQ with slot 5. 4 & 2 normally share and 3 has it's own. The exact sharing sequence is hardwired by the manufacturer, so it will vary according to the motherboard you have. In turn this confuses many people who erroneously assert that they can modify ALL IRQ's in the BIOS. You actually can't. You can change WHICH IRQ a shared set may get, but the sharing remains never the less. -JMS |-----Original Message----- |From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] |[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of ed tharp |Sent: Sunday, April 07, 2002 11:20 AM |To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] |Subject: Re: Fwd: Re: [expert] Sounds? | | |On Sunday 07 April 2002 11:11, you wrote: |> Sound problem fixed... |> Changed card to another slot...Got sound working... |> |> It was irq conflict... |> I just don't get,what changed irq? |> |> Jarmo |many motherboards set irq based on what slot the card is in, I |always stay |away from the slot closest to the agp slot(unless I am |installing a pci video |card) and some sorts of cards do not share the pci irq well |with others (vid, |USB, Vid capture, sound and network (in about that order) do |not seem to |share well) just my 2 cents. | |
