Peter Hooper 21 Jun 2001 22:58 UTC#177450
Hi all, I am desperately hoping someone here can help me with a system problem I am having. I have just upgraded my PC with an new motherboard (Apollo KT133 chipset) an AMD Athlon 1200 and an extra 128mb RAM (now up to 256). I know I should really have reformatted my HD but I was just hoping to be able to plug it into the new setup along with my V5 5500, SBLive and TV card and get up and running again. However, although everything else is working fine I cannot get the gameport installed properly. When I booted up all the peripherals were recognised and drivers installed, including for the SBLive but when it got to the gameport the system froze when trying to install the drivers. I had to reset the PC as it killed everything and now the gameport appears in Device Manager with an exclamation mark against it. I have tried updating the driver from Device Manager and removing the gameport from there and letting Win98SE pick it up again on reboot but both of these methods lead to a complete freeze again. The motherboard came with onboard audio (including gameport) which I have disabled in the BIOS although Win98SE still kept trying to re-install it when I rebooted. I therefore disabled them in Device Manager as well and this stopped that particular problem. This is a erally frustrating problem as I am desperate to get back to GPL \ N4 and Super Karting 1 (for John Bodin's excellent offline league this Saturday) but can't until this problem is sorted. Please can anyone offer me any advice on this or am I stuck with a reformat... TIA Hoops74
My motherboard also came with onboard audio which I also disabled using BIOS but it wouldn't go away. Then Sideshow Bob suggested in this newsgroup that I disable it using the jumper on the motherboard. This made the sound chip go away for good and also fixed another couple of minor glitches, including a scarcity of IRQ's (which may be the problem with your gameport). If you have the documentation for your motherboard it should have a picture showing where all the jumpers are. When you find the onboard sound jumper just take note of where it (so you can set it back if need be) is then flip it to the other setting. Make sure you ground yourself first so you don't blow up your new toy ;) "Peter Hooper" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Unfortunately this doesn't appear to be an option for me as there are no pins on the motherboard to do this. Hoops74 On Thu, 21 Jun 2001 23:06:26 GMT, "Rob Adams" <[email hidden]> wrote:

Then you should be able to do it in the BIOS "Peter Hooper" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Yep, I have gone into the BIOS and set the option to disable onboard audio but once I start Windows (98SE)it still tries to install the drivers for it. I got around this problem by putting a tick in the 'disable in this profile' option of Device Manager but just wondered wheterh it might still be causing a conflict as the SBLive gameport still freezes my PC when Windows tries to install the drivers for it.

Did my tip about checking for VIA updates help? The SBLive problem has been around for a while, and I thought there was a patch or a fix??? -- JB On Fri, 22 Jun 2001 07:12:47 +0100, Peter Hooper <[email hidden]> wrote:

Did you try installing the driver in Safe Mode? Sometimes that works. "Peter Hooper" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Hi John, Unfortunately I couldn't find anything about it on the VIA site and they have not replied to my e-mail about it either. What I did find was the Via 4in1 updaet but that hasn't solved the problem either. Cheers Pete PS:- Looking unlikely that I will make the 2nd league warm-up race now :O( On Fri, 22 Jun 2001 06:26:31 GMT, [email hidden] (John Bodin) wrote:

I'll give that a bash.. Fingers crossed. Hoops74 On Fri, 22 Jun 2001 09:19:30 -0500, "Lannie Schafroth" <[email hidden]> wrote:

Perhaps deleting it from device manager instead of disabling will help now that you have disabled the device in the BIOS. "Peter Hooper" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Message 9 in thread From: Keith Hess ([email hidden]) Subject: Re: VIA chipset and SBlive 1024!!!!! Newsgroups: creative.products.sound_blaster.live Date: 2001-02-13 00:02:04 PST The VIA chipset issue has been around for a LONG time. The problem is with certain VIA chipsets in how they handle PCI bus latency. This problem is not exclusive to SBLive cards either. Numerous other pro-audio cards fall victim to the same PCI bus flaw. Unfortunately, I have yet to see Creative post a disclaimer stating that VIA chipsets may cause undesireable results with their Emu10k1 based cards. Here are your options: 1) Change order of the PCI cards in your system 2) Check your BIOS to see if it has a PCI bus latency setting, set it to 0 and see if the problem goes away 3) If your BIOS doesn't have a PCI bus latency setting, download TweakBIOS and set it there 3) Disable UDMA in the BIOS 4) Replace your sound card with one that doesn't crackle and pop with your VIA chipset m/b 5) Replace your motherboard with an Intel chipset based motherboard, or AMD chipset for Athlons On Fri, 22 Jun 2001 15:47:02 +0100, Peter Hooper <[email hidden]> wrote:

For most users, there is a BIOS update available from your motherboard manufacturer that will solve this problem. If you have the latest BIOS for your motherboard, you have to make an adjustment in your BIOS settings. Go to the setting for "CPU IOQ" and make sure the value is set to 1 and not higher. Another solution for some, has been to adjust the AGP mutiplier setting so that the card cannot use faster than 1X speeds. For BIOS updates, you should check with your motherboard manufacturer first before going directly to VIA. Another solution has been to reinstall the VIA 4-in-1 drivers in "standard" mode as opposed to "turbo" mode. Here is the VIA driver page: http://www.via.com.tw/jsp/en/dr/driver.jsp There have been reports of the latest BIOS from Tyan removes the "CPU IOQ" setting and therefore eliminates your ability to change the setting. If you have a Micron computer, BIOS updates are available here: http://support.micronpc.com/Apps/specdriv.asp?Hub=MBD001125-xx&Include= If you have an Asus P3V4X motherboard (or have more interest in the IOQ setting), there is some information at: http://www.netspace.net.au/~jesse/p3v4x/faq.html On Fri, 22 Jun 2001 15:47:02 +0100, Peter Hooper <[email hidden]> wrote:
