OT: Turtle Beach Santa Cruz Game Port error

OT: Turtle Beach Santa Cruz Game Port error

by David A. Ewin » Tue, 07 Jan 2003 14:49:16

Hello again,

As I just mentioned in a previous e-mail, I recently built a new system with
the following specs:

AMD Athlon XP 2100+
Asus A7N8x motherboard (non-deluxe)
Two 256 Meg sticks of Corsair XPS PC2700 memory
ATI Radeon 9500 Pro
Turtle Beach Santa Cruz sound card
Western Digital 80 Gig Special Edition hard drive
Plextor PlexWriter 4/24/48 Atapi CD-RW
Windows XP Home Edition

After installing the Santa Cruz, I get the yellow exclamation mark in Device
Manager for the Game Port. The status reads "The device cannot find enough
free resources that it can use. (Code 12)".  The driver is dated 4/3/2002,
version 5.12.1.4161.

Prior to installing it, I did disable the onboard sound and the onboard game
port in the BIOS.

There may be some extraneous drivers.  Under "Sound, video and game
controllers" in the Device Manager I see:

Audio Codecs
Legacy Audio Drivers
Legacy Video Capture Devices
Media Control Devices
MPU-401 Compatible MIDI Device
Santa Cruz(tm)
! Santa Cruz(tm) Game Port
Santa Cruz(tm) WDM Interface
Video Codecs

Are any of these non-Santa Cruz items obsolete after the Santa Cruz
installation?

Note: Under Resources, it repeats "This device cannot find enough free
resources that it can use" and adds "If you want to use this device, you
will need to disable one of the other devices on this system".

It also has a "Set Configuration Manually" button.  Following it lists the
I/O Range as 0200-0207 and in the Conflicting Device List states that this
range is not available.

Has anyone else seen this and do you know how to fix it?

Thanks,

Dave Ewing

      Winxp  needs more memory than 98x  I suggest you bump up that 256k to
well over 512.  Like a GIg laddie..

He is running 2 sticks of 256 Dave.  That is plenty for WinXP.  More might
make a small performance increase somewhere, but it won't solve his resource
problems.

It sounds lke the onboard gameport may still be causing some problems here.
There is also an onboard MIDI device setting on some boards that needs to be
disabled if it is enabled.  That is probably using the same address as the
gameport needs.

Finally, in a late night advice post, DH makes a mistake.  A sudden hush
overtakes the group.  :0)

I have the same problem with an Epox 8rda. Everything onboard disabled, but
no go. Tried enabling the onboard game port and windows installs it fine.
Don't know the answer here. Maybe a bios issue.

There was an onboard Midi I/O option in the BIOS that I hadn't disabled.
After disabling it, the "MPU-401 Compatible MIDI Device" entry in the Device
Manager went away, but I still get the same error on the Santa Cruz Game
Port.

Should I have entries for Audio Codecs, Legacy Audio Drivers, and Video
Codecs ?

Thanks,

Dave
