Do P5WD2 and Audigy Mix?

[WordMerchant]

Anyone have clues as to why adding a Audigy 2ZS PCI to, an otherwise normal ASUS P5wd2 mobo would result in a DMA-1 Fatal Error, System Halt message from BIOS?

Prior to adding the Audigy card I disabled High Def Audio in the AMI BIOS and removed the RealTek software and drivers with XP-Add Remove Software>>Shutdown>>Power-off PSU>>added card>>Power-on PSU>>Hit Start>>One short beep from POST =good>>DMA-1 Fatal Error>>All Stop.

Power-off PSU>>Remove Audigy card>>Power-on PSU>>Hit Start>>Normal Boot to XP.

Note: Same result from a SB Live PCI card although both work without problems in old 4100 Dell

Thanks, Don

Did you disable onboard audio in the BIOS?
I know you disabled High Def, but that might not be the main onboard option. (not sure about that board)

Been through the manual several times. No definitive direction given. Guess it never occured to ASUS that anyone would want to add a soundcard. The onboard sound is ok but is fickle about changes to the BIOS. Tends to want to quit and have to be reloaded.
