Hello,
I have problem with my new SB Audigy SE card when connected to PCI2 slot (IRQ20). It works but if I increase a volume a bit I can hear the noise that exactly copies what happens in the computer (eg. HDD activity or opening new screens, etc.). The problem disappears when I plug the audio card into PCI1 slot (IRQ21). However I cannot keep it there because my gfx card connected to PCI-E slot has a big passive cooler that blocks the access to the PCI1 slot, you know.
Uninstalling SB Audigy entry from Device Manager doesn't help. It helps when I uninstall Primary and Secondary IDE Channel together with Standard Dual Channel PCI IDE Controller. After a restart the things get installed again and the noise is gone. However, in few days the noise is back (without installing or uninstalling any system component) so I need to repeat the uninstall procedure with those IDE channels and SB Audigy itself. Strange.
Maybe a change of the IRQ from 20 to 21 might help but in Device Manager the SB Audigy properties doesn't allow me to change it at all. I tried to change it in BIOS however the allowed values are 1 to 15 only. So I tried one of those but this BIOS setting is ignored. The device manager still shows IRQ 20 assigned to SB Audigy card.
Any ideas please?
My config: WindowsXP SP3, ga-ma78gm-s2h rev 1.0 bios F6 (with latest drivers), ATI 4650 (Catalyst 8.12), SB Audigy SE
