TV card and sound card conflict - HELP!

[Turbo]

I have a Hauppauge TV card and a Creative Labs PCI512 sound card on win2k. They will run perfectly at the same time until I open the settings for the sound card through the program that is designed for the sound card by Creative. When I open this program the entire PC locks-up. I have all the current drivers and software for both. I had this problem with win98se and assumed that win2k would fix this issue, I was wrong. The only idea I have, but don't know how to fix, is the IRQs are being shared and causes the lock.

Please help me with some type of solution.

Thanks,

Turbo

Win2k can behave very oddly.
On my machine I have 2 ISA slots. One has a Sound Card and the other the Modem.
I could not get either to work until I switched them. Magic ?? Who knows.
A better way turned out to be to use the BIOS to set the ISA cards to specific IRQ values. If the cards are PCI I do not know whetehr this can be done or not.

I have a similar problem. I'm wondering if there's something afoot at Creative because I've noticed a large number of posts by people with SB cards, Win2K, and locking computers. In my particular case (pun intended), I have an ATI All-in-Wonder 128 as well as the SB Live! Platinum, NIC, a 750MHz Athlon, and of course Win2K. When I look at the IRQ list, all of the ISA devices (which are internal, non-cards) have their own IRQ, but ALL FOUR PCI devices (video, sound, network, and a bus) are on IRQ 9. I know the newer OSes can share, but this is rediculous! There is no way to defeat this in BIOS as they truly are PCI cards, so I can't set them to ISA. I tried shuffling them a bit and they still end up on the one IRQ. I upgraded the BIOS to the most recent version...still locks up. I've installed all the latest drivers for everything as well.

I'm stumped. Can anyone help?


btw, AMD has posted a registry edit for computers experiencing lockups with AGP video cards and Win2K. You can get it at
