Ok this problem is beyond help. I have a Sound Blaster Audigy Soundcard and the other day i uninstalled it because I wasn't getting any sound. It was working perfect all along. I realized after I had uninstalled it that a wire was loose and I pushed it in and reinstalled.

Everytime I play a music video of any nature i'm getting tons of crackling and every time i skip forward on a mpeg it speeds the song up 3 times the speed almost chipmonk sytle.

I uninstalled every possible media encluded video card, and every type of device in the device manager many times. I uninstalled and reinstalled many new and old drivers, I did the same after i shut down the on board sound card.

I tested a few theries and noticed there isn't much a problem with .mov formats or .asf or .wmv

Therefor i'm thinking its a mpec coder or something wrong but I've installed the latest drivers of DIVX
and i've installed mpeg2codec installer. I've done everything possible and I'm trying not to go to the entent to format. I'm trying everything I can to avoid formatting.

I'm using Windows 2000 and here is some of my computer parts:

If anyone knows what the heck i'm doing wrong please tell me, I am so stumped

Thanx to anyone that can help out.
I really appriciate it.
Thanx,
Dave

Have you tried using the smaller newer drivers from their website? You may want to also try putting the card in a different PCI slot.

I tried that but i think i know what the problem is. I dont know how to fix it.

If i go into device manager and go to view resourses by type,

Then interrupt request....


I know the IRQ Port should be IRQ5 for the Legacy (Sound Card)

But i dont know how to set it there because its not in my bios : (

I have the following:

There is no (ISA) 5, goes from 4 to 6.
Under PCI Slots I have:

PCI 11 - Allied Telesyn AT-2400 PCI Ethernet Adapter
PCI 11 - Creative SB Audigy
PCI 11 - NVIDIA GeForce2 MD/MX 40 (I dont understand this considering my video card is in the AGP Slot

PCI 11 - OHCI Compliant IEEE 1394 Host Controller
PCI 11 - PCI Device
PCI 11 - SIS 7001 PCI to USB Open Host Controller

I dont know how everything can go under PCI 11 like this
How do i put my sound card back in the IRQ 5 slot (ISA) 5

Please help.

P.S. - I also deleted my aspi layers, it didn't help either

Please help.
Thanx,
Dave
