This usually indicates an IRQ hardware resource conflict between the

Wave/4 card and another device in your system. First, make sure that your

PC's BIOS Setup is correct (usually accessed by pressing DEL while the

system is booting but sometimes a function key is used). In the section,

PnP/PCI Setup, make sure that the setting 'Using Plug and Play OS'

(operating system) is 'Enabled' or 'Yes'. Also, make sure that resources

are controlled automatically. If this doesn't resolve the issue, the next

step is to determine if Windows is identifying a conflict.

- run the Windows Control Panel and select 'System'.

- Click on the 'Device Manager' tab

- Click on the '+' sign next to the line, 'Sound, video, and game

controllers'.

- The list should show the Wave/4 card. If the Wave/4 line is showing an

'!' (exclamation mark) then the driver has not been loaded by Windows.

Check to see if Windows has found the resource conflict by viewing the

'Properties | Resources' information for the Wave/4. If a resource conflict

is indicated, you may need to reconfigure any non-plug and play card that's

in your PC by changing its switches — see the card's documentation. You

can also try manually moving the Wave/4 IRQ to a different value by

unchecking the 'use automatic settings' box. The Wave/4 card can be set to

IRQ 3, 5, 7, 10, 11, 12 or 15.

Even if a resource conflict is not indicated by Windows, there still may

be a resource conflict. The purpose of plug and play support in Windows

is to assign system resources to each card "auto-magically" but sometimes,

Windows "gets confused". This can happen if you have older cards with

switches for IRQ setting(s). Make sure that these IRQ numbers are reserved

in your BIOS Setup (see the PnP/PCI section) or reserve the IRQ's in the

Windows control panel (System | Device Manager | Computer). Unfortu-

nately, when installing a new card, Windows does not always display alert

messages when there is a conflict. If you have a resource conflict, you

can also get info by running run the 'Hardware Conflict Troubleshooter'

that is found in the Windows Help file.

The Wave/4 card installed fine and it's playing sounds OK, but

now another card in my system won't work.

This could indeed be caused by a device conflict with the another card. See

the previous item for information on resolving this. Alternately, there could

be a basic electrical problem with your PC's bus. Trying moving the cards

into different slots.

Audio from the Wave/4 card is garbled or distorted.

If you have a "generic" PC (AKA a clone), you may need to adjust a system

timing setting in your PC's BIOS Setup. To enter the BIOS Setup, you will
