Hi everyone,

    I got problems in installation of my new soundcard. Please help!
    
    My problem is:
       First, I plug the card into one of the slot and then boot up with 
WIN95. It said it can find the card and I follow the instructions. It seems to work 
fine. However, I try Windeck and it can't play *.wav files. I can hear the sound 
repeating itself. What's wrong? Also, no sound can't be heard in Win95. ( It can 
play audio CD and midi files )

       Another problem is: I can't setup the card in DOS/win31. When I asked to 
install emm386.exe for the optimization of SB emulation, I press "enter" to 
continue. But all the things just "hang". Installation not complete...I'm sure 
because no modification of my config.sys or autoexec.bat can be noticed.Why?
As a result, no sound in either DOS or Win31! 

       Problem again: My computer does not have enough IRQs for my devices. Since 
GUS PnP occupies three IRQs, there is no room for my modem. How can I solve it? 
Disable the hardware2 or hardware3? Any problems? I think that is the point 
for my WIN95 instablity. Right?

       For your reference, my soundcard is GUS PnP (standard) with 8Mb 60ns SIMM 
RAM installed. My computer is P75 PnP supported MB with 24Mb RAM. 

       Will the problems arise because of bus mastering driver, extra IDE port in 
the card, or else...?

       Thanks in advance!

Ricky
