For a year I ran a Duron 650 with the
original version of onboard audio drivers and VIA chipset drivers
(supplied with install disk), and the boards original BIOS ver 1.6. No
problems whatsoever!
I recently upgraded to an Athlon 1.2 (200 FSB) and at the time needed to update my bios to accommodate the Athlon 1.2. I flashed to
BIOS ver 2.9, and also updated VIA 4 in 1 to latest ver 4.32, and audio drivers to latest ver.
1.20A.
When I upgraded, I had my Modem and network PCI boards out of the machine so they may now be in different slots, thus affecting IRQ assignments.
Now I am experiencing occasional random high pitched screeching
sound when playing audio that is solved only with rebooting.
I am trying to figure out which change in
my system is the culprit and how to go about troubleshooting it.
Would there be any problems in going backwards and putting the older
VIA chip set drivers and audio drivers on? If so, do I have to unistall then reinstall or just install an older version overtop of the newer? Would it make any sense to try a slightly older BIOS? Should I switch the positions of the PCI cards?
I need some advice on how to trouble shoot this, rather than just taking shots in the dark.
My current system:
MSI K7T Pro (MS-6330) Mobo
(socket-A KT133 chip set) with onboard audio
AMD Socket A Athlon 1200 (200 FSB)
256 MB PC133 RAM
Hercules Prophet II MX (Nvidia Geforce II MX) video card
30 GB Maxtor ATA 100 7200 RPM HD
Plextor 12x10x32 IDE CDRW
Pioneer 10x IDE DVD-ROM
Iomega 100 IDE zip drive
3-COM 10/100 PCI Fast ethernet NIC (3C905C-TX )
PCI Modem blaster
Win 98SE
