Sound problem update...

As a previous post of mine said, I have a horrible sound 'poping' problem which started when I installed my new Duron / Abit KT7-RAID setup (on my SB16). I've installed the VIA4-in-1 drivers which don't seem to help any. Anyway I noticed something pretty weird just now. The poping stops (immediatly) if I move the mouse over something like a text box (so that the cursor changes to that 'I' looking shape for editing text). If I move the cursor away, the popping starts again as soon as another sound is played.

Does anyone know why this could be? It sounds pretty weird to me...

Thanks.
 
What's your video card? Have you updated the drivers for it too?
Is your SB16 on the same irq as any other device?
 
It's a Geforce... and i've got the latest drivers for it.

My SB16 has got IRQ 5 all to its self. And the mouse has got IRQ 12, and virtually everything else is sharing IRQ 11 (because of Win2k I guess).
 
What options did you choose when installing the 4 in 1 drivers? Turbo mode for AGP? IRQ routing miniport driver installed?

Also, what options in the BIOS do you have that relate to ISA? Mainly the ones under "advanced Chipset features" and "peripherals"
 
I didn't have any of those options. The only choice I was given was to 'install 4in1 drivers' or 'uninstall 4in1 drivers'.

Mostly the default ones in the BIOS... I didn't see any ones about ISA tho..

 
I've noticed something else weird when I was watching a movie last night. It only comes out of one speaker at a time. Mostly it's the right one, but for a few minuites last night it moved to the left one. Weird.
 
UPDATE: I've found the fix to this problem just incase anyone else is having the same one. You've got to go into device manager (get to the page which you can see all the resources for the card, IRQ, DMA, etc..), and then choose the configuartion option where the second DMA entry is missing (so you only have a low (8-bit) DMA, not a 16-bit one).

HTH
