Sound Card & Slot 1

RTShaw · 03-13-2001, 12:13 PM

Anyone using their sound card in slot 1? For some strange reason I stuck my Diamond MX300 snd card in slot 1 and it's not recognized at all. I have my fastrak100 controller in slot 5 & it's shared with slot1 but it's seen. Haven't changed slots yet (to lazy and kinda ill) but trying to deduce this logically - hopeing it's not a bad slot. I expect it's because the snd card takes 2 IRQ's? does that sound logical? Soon as i feel up to it i will first pull the fast track for the hell of it just 2 see if the snd card is recognized but i will end up with it in slot 3 or 4. I hope it's not the mobo cause it's full now - i'd hate 2 send it back 4 a new one. this mobo kicks serious butt where as I had problems with my BX6-2 system when i put 512 megs ram this CUSL2 system has no problems at all. The more I play with it the more I appreciate it. Now i have one system for programming & such and another for messing around & playing serious games.

thanks for everyone's help

I know the Promise ATA66 cards required an unshared IRQ.

Maybe your fastrack is hogging the shared IRQ and the Diamond sound card can't get one.

Looked at my sound card it was not plugged in. although i tightened up the bracket screw the card was not in the slot. i guess thats what bad eyes & getting old does to you.
I moved the snd card anyway to slot 3 to be next to my wintv card. But after installing the drivers i get a message saying "your vortex adapter is not plugged into the primary PCI bus.... the joystick modem & snd blaster emulation may not work on 2ndary PCI bus.
please consult your manual." I have no idea what they are talking about, i'm sure i will find the answer sooner or later the snd card is working but without the joystick port.
This only happens in win98SE not in win2k - i'm dual booting..
thats deep about your promise66 card my promise fastrak100 & promise ultra 100 cards both share the bus with just about anything.

I love this mobo it's great!
