Question Sound stops when I connect to Internet!

When I boot up the PC, there is sound. I can record sound with my headset, and I can play it back. But then when I connect to the Internet, all sound ability goes! If I then uninstall the sound driver and then reinstall, it comes back! Help, what's happening?

I have been to Internet Options and multimedia, and play variously with volume controls. Is there any mileage in installing a different sound card and using tht instead of the one that came with the mohterboard?

Your help much appreciated.

Your modem is probably sharing IRQ with the sound system. Move the modem to a different PCI slot and see what happens.

Post your IRQ listings and let's see what's up.

IRQ conflicts

Many thanks glc - I'm not at home for another eight hours, and I'll try what you suggest then. However, it does make sense, and a colleague here agrees with you.

I'll post later tonight.

Smile IRQ Conflicts

Hi again

Well, I have success, but only because I removed the modem (AMR) and put in my old one from the other PC I have!

When I opened the case, I found there's nothing in ny pci slot, so not sure about the IRQ conflict. For sure, it looked as if there a conflict between devices using IRQ11.

Any way, this is a fix, of sorts. Thanks for the help.
