Guest sillyputty Posted August 11, 2007 Posted August 11, 2007 I have Sisoft's Sandra and was looking through the IRQs in system resources. Both Envy24 Family Services Controller (audio) and the video card (nVidia GeFore 7600 GT) are using IRQ 16. Will this causes problems? I've been having audio problems. Thx. -- Biostar GeForce 6100-M9 939 AMD 4200+ 2.2G X2 EVGA nVidia 7600GT 256MB PCI-e 2 gigs Kingston RAM 450W PSU

Are you using onboard sound or an add-in card? Sharing IRQs can cause problems, but often trying to assign specific IRQs causes a lot more problems. I don't think it is a common problem with todays comps. I think if a PCI card won't share and IRQ happily it isn't fully compliant of the PCI 2.0 standards, but don't quote me on that ;-) Some games specify hardware acceleration by default for the sound which can cause problems. If you can re-create the problem, you might running DXdiag, (from "run" on the start menu or command prompt), and under the sound tab lowering hardware acceleration there to see if it makes a difference. BTW System Information under System Tools menu provides this hardware information also.

I was getting no sound when playing DVDs (other audio worked fine), but I think I solved it. I had recently reinstalled XP and needed to reinstall the decoders. Now getting DVD audio in VLC (haven't tried the other players yet). What still has me stumped is I can't install new drivers for the sound card. Keep getting 'access denied.' Doing some research it could be due to another device using the card, but haven't done any further trouble-shooting yet. Ran DXdiag with no errors. > BTW System Information under System Tools menu provides this hardware > information also. I know. I'm a beta tester for SiSoft. :)
