I have the following spec'd machine & in all the latest games ( colin
Mcrae & Shogo ) whilst using the Viper (AGP port type) as the main
card I get a static crackling over the SFX's thats so bad that you can
just about make anything else thats going on out, also if i use my
Voodoo2 card as the main source then I only get the problems in the
menus ( which I presume are being run by the viper? ) I've tried the
latest drivers for both the soundcard & the viper, as well as the
Reference drivers, but nothing cures the problem apart from turning
the hardware acceleration down on the Viper, but on doing that it
seems to lose the D3D support & 3D mark will not benchmark the viper?
I've also tried moving the PCI soundcard to the other 3 slots & tried
different IRQ's but nothing changes!!!!!!!!  I've spoken to Carrera
who made the machine & they say thats its the software games that are
causing the problem, Diamond who don't know what it is, but not their
card, creative who blame Diamond :(
