Hey, im having a problem with my voodoo 5. Ever since i installed the Voodoo 5500 PCI on my computer, the sound has been experiencing lots of problems when it uses the video card's power, or processing power. I switched sound cards, and the problem still exists. So, i traded my friend temporarily, and took his voodoo 3 AGP. I stuck it in, and tested the sound, NO PROBLEMS AT ALL! im asuming its the PCI compared to AGP slot. In BIOS, i set it to PCI VGA, but it still doesnt work... I tried my voodoo 5 on my old Intel computer, and it worked perfectly...I am running a:

1.4 GHz Athlon TB
ECS K7S5A

I dont know how to fix it...By the way, the sound distortion happens when i switch applications, run 3d games, or watch 3d visualizations etc...

THanks..

SOmepeople suspected that it was my IRQ sharing...however, i checked, and there was no conflicts with my video card IRQ. THe only IRQ that it was sharing was a USB port, and the strange thing is that that USB port is what i connect my mouse to...
