Best Slot for Audigy in Win98...ECS K7s5a Mobo

Yes Yes, I need to upgrade. Had XP but messed up the CD. ITs going to be 98se for now.

For some reason in WinXP and in 98 I keep running into problems. Sound doesn't work, doesn't autodetect the Firewire. Changeing the Audigy to a different slot helps, but I still get weird errors. Example, when installing counterstrike, erros keep popping up and tellling me there is an I/o error and the installtion file may be corrupt.. I have tried 2 different CS Cd's so its not the CD.


Tbird 1.4
2 256 Crucial Ram chips.
Ecs K7s5a
Riva TNT video card
Augidy, currently in second slot.
Sparkle 400w PS


 
I install my Audigy in the 4th slot, never have problem either with win98Se or Win ME, try also to install the update driver and patch creative has in its website. Good Luck.
 
Hold on for a second ... here's the K7S5A interrupt routing scheme.

5 - 2 3 4 1
4 - 4 1 2 3
3 - 3 4 1 2
2 - 2 3 4 1
1 - 1 2 3 4
A - 1 2 3 4
E - 7
S - 8 2 3 4

(A AGP. E Ethernet. S Southbridge USB1, modem, sound, USB2.)

Assuming you have all single-function devices, this means you get shared interrupts on:

AGP and PCI slot 1
PCI slots 2 and 5 and AMR modem
PCI slot 3 and onboard sound
PCI slot 4 and USB 2
So obviously if you desperately want to have your sound card on a separate interrupt line,
then plug it into slot 3 and disable the onboard sound. However, PCI cards by specification
_must_ allow being on a shared interrupt, so the basic approach is to plug it where it
physically suits you best and enjoy. First thing to try if it doesn't is updated card drivers.

I do have Audigy & K7S5A, but no poblem at all. Both in WinXP and Win98 (not Second Ed)
the sound card installed just fine. Not even one problem. Using stock drivers from
soundcard's CD

For some reason when I install CounterStrike I get an error saying. "I/O Error. The media or installtion file you are trying to install fromis corrupt"
It's something like that. I have tried 2 different CS Cd's for installation so I doubt its that. Should my Pioneer 106s DVD player be on a different IDE cable than the Hardrive? Thats the only thing I can think of.
