insane 0 Posted February 3, 2001 I have a diamond monstersound mx300 (Aureal Vortex2) i have been running win2k pro for quite somtime now, and have gotten used to my soundcard problems.. But it has to be something i can fix, for example, if im listening to an mp3 and windows makes a "ding" sound, it makes the song skip and most of the time have to restart, and i play games that when the cdrom is spinning, it starts to play the music that is supposed to, then stops! i took the cd out to test and it played the music fine! (but i need the cd) almost the same problem with starcraft, sometimes after im playing for a while and i skip from track to track, i start hearing a little hi pitched noise.. then i lose all sound/music! i exit the game and the sound is all messed up, i try to play an mp3 it will play abut 1/2 second of it, press play again another 1/2 second and stop, then i tried to load up another game and it said directx is still in use or seomthing, i have DirectX8, win2k SP1, Aureal Vortex2 WDM drivers... what could possibly be the problem! please help! P.S. I dident have these problems when running windows 95/98.... --Zeb Smith [This message has been edited by insane (edited 03 February 2001).] Share this post Link to post
Morris 0 Posted February 4, 2001 I also have this problem. Playing any sound source and putting load on my cpu the sound stops and the only solution is to reboot my machine. This was not a problem when running on an Intel platform ,but I recently switched to AMD and this became a problem Please post the solution on this messageboard if you find any answers. My system. Amd 1200 768mb Crucial Cas2-2-2 sdram (3X256) Asus A7V Matrox G450 Voodo 5500 Adaptec 2940U2W Eicon Diva 2.01 ISDN card 1 IDE drive 1 U2W SCSI drive SCSI CD recorder and cd-rom drive Aurial Vortex 2 sound card --Jon Share this post Link to post
nam ng 0 Posted February 4, 2001 Make sure your MP3 player output using DirectSound which allowed for more than one sound chanel instead of a wave-device, in the system performance properties also set for background services. ------------------ nam ng - The sole Idiot with "V5's FSAA=Multi-sampling" guy.
