ALS 120 MPU 401 Driver (WDM)

[FZWG]

Appreciate some assistance.

Having a sound problem. An entry under Device Manager, Sound, Video and Game Controllers: ALS 120 MPU 401 Driver (WDM).

Under its properties, it states the following: “This device cannot find any free IRQ resource to use (Code 12). If you want to use this device, you must disable…etc.”

The problem started when a flagged Device Manager entry: Via Tech 3038 PCI to USB Universal Host Controller was updated and made functional. It is now OK, but the sound card entry went down the tubes!!

Would like to have USB functionality as well as a ‘healthy’ sound card in Device Manager.

The following is a listing of IRQs:

IRQ 0 System timer OK
IRQ 1 Standard 101/102-Key or Microsoft Natural Keyboard OK
IRQ 2 Programmable interrupt controller OK
IRQ 3 Communications Port (COM2) OK
IRQ 4 Communications Port (COM1) OK
IRQ 5 HSP56 MicroModem OK
IRQ 5 IRQ Holder for PCI Steering OK
IRQ 6 Standard Floppy Disk Controller OK
IRQ 7 Printer Port (LPT1) OK
IRQ 8 System CMOS/real time clock OK
IRQ 9 ALI 3D Enh Sound PnP (WDM) OK
IRQ 10 VIA Tech 3038 PCI to USB Universal Host Controller OK
IRQ 10 IRQ Holder for PCI Steering OK
IRQ 11 RAGE PRO TURBO AGP 2X OK
IRQ 11 IRQ Holder for PCI Steering OK
IRQ 12 PS/2 Compatible Mouse Port OK
IRQ 13 Numeric data processor OK
IRQ 14 VIA Bus Master PCI IDE Controller OK
IRQ 14 Primary IDE controller (dual fifo) OK
IRQ 15 VIA Bus Master PCI IDE Controller OK
IRQ 15 Secondary IDE controller (dual fifo) OK

Any ideas on how to resolve the problem?

Thank you in advance for your help.

You could try opening your PC up and sticking the sound card in another PCI slot if there is one available, this will usually cure these gripes

Thanks for the reply.

It is an ISA card.

Does that make a difference?

[fatboyjim]

Shouldn't do, although I missed the ISA bus My first PC had a couple of ISA slots but from then on they were gone

If you just try putting it in another slot it might make a difference, it can't really do any harm put it like that

Thanks,

Jim

Tried changing slots...but still, no go.
