the sound do repeat itself and you can't do anything other than reboot.

	I have GUS PnP, 2 EIDE channel (Bus Mastering driver), Adaptec 2940UW,
2 COM Ports (COM1 mouse, COM2 modem) and I've just used up all the IRQs. If 
u  have PS/2 mouse, that's going to be a problem as it use an extra IRQ.

	You must disable the IDE port in the card if you're to use the
second EIDE channel in your MotherBoard.

	Hope this help.

Repeating sound propably has something to do with PnP cards activation, wich should
be found from your computer's setup in startup. Activation should be FULL.

Check the control panel-system device.  There must be some conflicts
of devices.  I previously experienced the same case as yours. You have
to change the IRQ, memory address etc in the system device dialog
boxes to make them work.

Does it work in DOS?  Do you have ram installed on the card?

>As a result, no sound in either DOS or Win31! 
You need ram installed on the card  for the emulation.  You don't need
the SB emulator to get sound in win 3.11 or dos at all!!! For win 3.11
you need to install its drivers, for dos you only need to install
iwinit.exe, execute it and have the appropriate settings in your
autoexec.bat and iw.ini files, that's it.  Try running iwinit -v9.
Who needs SB emulation anyway, I don't... ;-)

You can disable the things you don't really need for starters,
secondly, some irq can be shared (with the irq used by the gus p'n'p
card ofcourse, not the other ones).

If you don't use the secondary IDE port, disable it! You'll have an
extra irq!  Something more: a printerport doesn't really require an
irq.  If you install a mr.bios and use the printerport's irq, it will
work just fine ;-)

Don't we all :)

The last two IRQ's(i.e. hardware 2 and 3) are not needed by Win95
usually. These were put there to provide hardware compatability with
SB and EmU! You can get rid of them fairly easily. To get the the
sucker to run in DOS prompt, I suggest you read the technical faq in
the support section of the gravis home page(www.gravis.com) they tell
you exactly which files to modify.
