Resolving I/O
Conflicts

Conflicts between your audio card and another peripheral device may occur if your card and the other
device are set to use the same I/O address.

To resolve I/O conflicts, change the resource settings of your audio card or the conflicting peripheral
device in your system using Device Manager in Windows 98 SE/Me.

If you still do not know which card is causing the conflict, remove all cards except the audio card and other
essential cards (for example, disk controller and graphics cards). Add each card back until Device
Manager indicates that a conflict has occurred.

To resolve hardware conflicts in Windows 98 SE/Me:

1. Click Start -> Settings -> Control Panel.

2. In the Control Panel window, double-click the System icon.

3. In the System Properties dialog box, click the Device Manager tab.

4. Under the Sound, Video And Game Controllers entry, select the conflicting audio card driver—

indicated by an exclamation mark (!)—and click the Properties button.

5. In the Properties dialog box, click the Resources tab.

6. Make sure that the Use automatic settings check box is selected, and click the OK button.
