Hi guys,

posted this in soundcards, but I think it might be more of an OS issue...

Windows ? XP ? And which sound cards ?

Well I figured the title was a good clue, and it's doing it with an aztech chip card, an Avance ALS100+ ISA card and 2 different ALS4000 PCI cards. I didn't mention the types because I figured having now tried 4 different ones, it's not the hardware.

oh.. DUH haha man i feel dumb haha i didnt see that "98SE" part anyway... umm i've has the ALS4000 PCI carding working in a 98se machine before which drivers are you using ?

here are the drivers for the ALS100+

and the ones for the ALS4000

sometimes 98se is kinda stuburn, so i dunno :/ sometimes drivers wortk the first time, and sometimes they dont and you gotta do them agian, but if you download those they are .exe and they do everything for you all you have to do is agree with what it want's to do.

Yeah thanks those were the ones I had but they wouldn't work. I put an ESS 1868 in it now, the WDM drivers that come with WIN 98SE auto installed.... and didn't work, so I pulled some 98 ok VXD drivers off the net and installed those and it works.

I am wondering if it was a direct X issue, whether it didn't like drivers being installed after it was.
