XP Home Set IRQ default

Hi,

Here is an article from Microsoft on your problem. It refers to Win2K but the same applies to WinXP.

...so you should be able to manually alter the IRQ settings in the BIOS (although I've never done it...) but it says you'll have to re-build your system.

Cheers,

There should be a spot in the bios to where you can manually assign and IRQ to a device. It's hard to say where you're going to find that without knowing what bios you're using, but you're going to be looking for somethings that references your sound card..usually the first thing is enable/disable and then and IRQ setting, or PCI options where you'll see your slots and one spot marked audio.

Once you change it there, you'll may need to disable and reenable again, or completely remove the driver and let it reinstall again.

Good luck to you

Mark
