D-4 Troubleshooting
Problem
System hangs during the 16-bit digitized sound test, but
it works fine during the 8-bit test.
Cause
Your system’s motherboard cannot handle High DMA
at full speed. On some machines, the DMA controller
on the motherboard does not function properly during
High DMA transfers. High DMA transfers on such
machines might corrupt the data in main memory and
cause the system to hang or encounter a parity error.
Solution
Run the Plug and Play configuration utility and select
Low DMA in place of the High DMA channel. 16-bit
audio data will then be transferred through the Low
DMA channel.
When you set your High DMA channel to Low
DMA, you will lose the full-duplex operation,
which requires two separate DMA channels.
