Question for those with A7V + SB Live + SETI@Home

[Muerto]

When ever I run SETI and try to play music or games I get horrid static and clipping sounds. But when I turn SETI off everything's fine. I have this problem weather I'm overclocking or not.

If you have a similar setup to mine do you have this same problem? If so do you know how to fix it? Thanks.


P.S. I bought brand new speakers recently and tested them on two other computers and they're fine.

got the same thing, with a Tbird oced to 900.

update the drivers for sblive, and flash A7v bios to 1004a/c

 

[Muerto]

I've got the most recent drivers for the SB Live and the 1004a BIOS. No help.

You system is pretty similar to mind except for OS. I don't know if SETI is any different from RC5 but I have no problem when cracking RC5 and listening to MP3 at the same time. Have you assign IRQ's in BIOS yet? Just assign IRQ 5 to whichever slot the SBLIVE sits in.

 

[Muerto]

I can crack RC5 and have music playing without any problems as well. I've tried re-assigning IRQs but it hasn't had an effect.

I think this is just some stupid software/hardware conflict than no one anticipated.

This problem has been happening on more than one occasion, but sadly I don`t know of any guaranteed fix.

Try using the latest BIOS and drivers, maybe give SETI 3.0 a try. If your using WinAMP try changing (under Options->Preferences->Output) it from Wave out plugin to Direct Sound Plugin. That´s all I can think of for now, I`m sorry i couldn`t help you more...
