Default Possible Sound Conflict - 07-02-2003, 09:17 PM

Ok, I've seen other people have this problem and know how to theoretically fix it, but now I'm the victim of said problem, and every fix I've ever heard of isn't working. And i think I know why.

The Problem: I just recently did a re-format and clean install of XP on my computer, (specs to follow). I've got MOHAA re-installed and patched. Now, and this is the first time I've had this problem, when I go to start MOHAA, I get that lock up at the grey screen, the sound cuts in and out and the the graphics are very slow to change, very! All of this before I get to the lobby.

I know this is a Sound Device Problem. Mohaa is having a bitch of a time getting thing's in order, and my sound just isn't cooperating. I've tried everything I can, including completely uninstalling my card, physically, and re-installing, this includes getting rid of any Registry entries pertaining to my card.

Here's the deal, as soon as I physically install the card, and start-up, XP wants the drivers, I direct it toward my CD, but XP reports that the driver's can't be found, and install's it's own from it's 'known device' database.

Anybody have any ideas, tips, etc? Help is appreciated.

Specs:

AMD 2600XP
MSI KT4V Mainboard, with the latest Via 4 in 1's
DirectX 9.0a
512mb ddr RAM
Gf4 ti4200, 128mb ddr, Det Drivers 44.03
Sound Blaster Live! 5.1
Win XP Home with SP1

Did you have XP before the reformat? And what kind of reformat was it? cuz what it seems to sound like is driver conflicts. preexisting drivers are conflicting with the current onesand that usually happens when you have Gforces cards. they dont have "flexible drivers" they dont like change. if you have an old card laying around delete the gforce drivers install the other card, then try the Gforce again. Another problem could be the Gforce drivers are incompatible with XP. go on microsoft.com or the Gforce website to find updated drivers

yeah, my system already had XP on it, this wasn't an upgrade, but a 'wipe and install' operation. Again, I completely formated my C: drive and did a clean install.

The drivers I had used before with this card, from 40.72 to the current 44.03, had zero problems. It's not a vid problem. And, again, I know it's a sound card driver compatibility issue.

Thanks for the effort though.
