Krushull Posted January 23, 2006 Posted January 23, 2006 After overclocking my PC I got to a point where 3dmark 03 would crash at the sound test and cause loops. Also had issues with Bf2 doing the same thing causing the same kind of loops with a screeching sound. I figured it must have been the limit of my ram or cpu causing it but after a few days of what I figured were stable settingss it started happening at the lower speeds. So I removed the Audigy 2 Value and used the onboard sound to test it and I have been able to set it a few more mhz up with no sound issues at all so far... Would o/c'n the HTT so far cause the PCI slot to crash the PC because of the sound card?? Anybody else had similar problems with this? :confused: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peanya Posted January 23, 2006 Posted January 23, 2006 Assuming you didn't overclock the PCI bus, I'm thinking it might be a possible conflict or a driver issue, or even a defective card. Have you tried another slot? Have you set the option in the BIOS to update the resources? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdidhe Posted January 23, 2006 Posted January 23, 2006 i never had that prob with my sb2. try reinstalling drivers. maybe try the youP pax fi drivers, thats what i have been using and im very happy with em Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krushull Posted January 23, 2006 Posted January 23, 2006 havent touched the PCI bus could be drivers I am using the beta openal ones at the moment they did increase stability with my old mobo though, i'll try the drivers you mentioned the sound sure is extra crappy through the onboard :nod: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdidhe Posted January 23, 2006 Posted January 23, 2006 i hear ya, sb is the way to go. Those drivers i spoke of are suppost are modded x fi drivers. They work great and the sound is better. winamp milkdrop is totally on sync even with my maxed out settings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest laydback Posted January 24, 2006 Posted January 24, 2006 Did you check for to see if it's sharing an IRQ? SBs have issues with that. I always put the sound card on the slot closest to the bottom as a rule of thumb. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krushull Posted January 24, 2006 Posted January 24, 2006 no conflicts :/ same issue with new drivers, must just be ram or cpu causing it I guess : Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
