I have a Sounblaster (V1.5 with the 2.0 software) in my no-name 386-33MHz system. The problem that I am having is that it hangs when using digitized sound. I have taken everything out of the bus except the video card (Super VGA) and the HD/FD controler. Everything is fine, however, when emulating the Adlib. My suspicion is centered on the DMA, since I have tried all IRQ lines and IRQ7 does no seem to be used by anything else. Is it likely that either the video card or the disc controller are intefering with the Soundblaster? When playing short sounds (such as the Windows *.WAV files in 3.1), the Sounblaster only crashes the machine sometimes, but when playing longer sequences of sounds (e.g. intros to games), it crashes fairly regularly. Any ideas? Steve Austin
