K7S5A problem with sound

[rwalterk]

I know there's tons of issues with this board, but if anyone has seen this one I'd appreciate your input.

There's a couple of applications that will cause the sound to crash in Win98SE. After running fine for a minute or so, it starts looping a split-second snippet of the last sound it played. It happens in Tony Hawk 2 and Winamp with visualizations on. It sucks because it was working fine for the first 3 days after I upgraded to this mobo/cpu.

Specs:
K7S5A w/ 1ghz Duron (BIOS is latest revision)
128MB PC2100 DDR
Ensoniq AudioPCI (an old one that now uses Soundblaster PCI64 drivers)
Diamond Viper V550 (TNT) AGP
Win 98SE

What I've tried:
Reinstalled Direct X 8.1
Reinstalled sound drivers
Uninstalled and reinstalled the offending software
Reinstalled video drivers
Switched PCI slots for the sound card
Tried onboard sound

Any ideas?

what power supply do you use?

 

[Quake]

You tried the onboard sound? so it may be the video card.
Because I had some static sound when Viewing High Loads of graphics with my Voodoo 3 2000 PCI.

That problem disapeared with my new Geforce 2 Ti

Good Luck 😉

It's a sparkle 300W (AMD approved). I saw the thread about the voodoo cards, but it's a TNT 🙁.

Is the onboard sound disabled in the BIOS ?

Yes, I've disabled the onboard sound, midi, and gameport.
