SBLive sound problems from interrupt sharing ?

[Crazzy 0]

Hi,

 

I am using Win2000 and have problems with my SB Live (clicks and other noises).

 

I think the problem is that interrupt 9 is shared by 7 devices.

 

The OS reports no conflicts, probably because all drivers support interrupt sharing. But i think 7 devices using one interrupt may be a bit too much.

 

I have an Asus CUBX motherboard and the 7 devices are:

- ACPI

- V3 2000

- CMD PCI-IDE66 controller

- SB-Live

- USB

- Kingston Ethernet 100Mbit

- Symbios SCSI adapter

 

I tried to force the SB-Live using another interrupt by manually setting the interrupt for its PCI-slot to Int5 and disabling PNP OS. But I had no success, Win2000 just reinstalled the SB-Live using the same Int9.

 

I also can't change the interrupt in the hardware manager manually, probably because its a PNP card (yes i have administrator rights).

 

It would be great, if someone has an idea how to force the SB-Live to use another interrupt.

 

Also interesting for would be if interrupt sharing between 5 or more devices is common and whether they also have sound proplems.

 

Thanks for any tips,

Crazzy
