Sound problems with BC133KT-100 Mother Board

Since having a new BC133KT-100 motherboard and AMD Athlon 1.1 CPU installed I have limited sound.
I have a Creative Sound Blaster AudioPCI 64V sound card but there is the on board VIA Audio sound. Do I have the bios setup right, is there a conflict between the two. It seems to me I saw a place in hardware manager to select use the device meaning sound card and disregard bios. Can't get there again. Have tried bios and enabling and disabling onboard chipset and creative sound card. Can't get anything out of onboard VIA Audio Sound. With windows error, critical stop and other sounds I get loud slow screech. Music CDs play ok with basic CD player but with windows media player its a slow speed screech. Any internet download or MP3 file that runs in window media player or realplayer, the audio is a slow speed screech. I have noticed though when this is happening, if I click to close another window or repetively right click on a window the sound file plays normal, if the computer is trying to do two things at once. Blaster sound card worked fine before new parts and I'm thinking if it works anytime the computer is busy doing two things, than it probably is ok. I also have tried loading the VIA drivers from BCM CD and error message comes up saying the VIA Audio is not enabled. I have a Toshiba DVD drive and a HP cd writer hooked up to PCI sound board. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
 
Certainly looks like a resource conflict.

Try disabling the on-board sound in the BIOS, then enabling ESCD update.

If there are still issues in Windows, check Device Manager for any hardware with a "!" next to it.

Remove these and reboot.

Get the latest drivers for anything that you noticed was failing, and install them (the hardware wizard will doubtless run automatically).

Did you re-install the operating system when you replaced your motherboard and CPU?

Try re-installing Windows over the top of your existing installation. This works for me, although the best way is a ground-up rebuild. Remember that when you install a new processor and board, you are also installing many new system devices which are not the same as the registered ones.

I hope this helps you. CitrixEngineer@yahoo.co.uk
