Problems with sound in win2k
Hi, I've got some weird problems with sound in Windows 2000. In general windows apps, everything has a reverb/echo/ambience effect, which is very annoying. There is a similar effect in games, only on some it makes everything sound stuttery, like it is replaying sounds over themselves.
Hi,
I've got some weird problems with sound in Windows 2000. In general windows apps, everything has a reverb/echo/ambience effect, which is very annoying. There is a similar effect in games, only on some it makes everything sound stuttery, like it is replaying sounds over themselves. I stuck in an old SB16 ISA and had similar problems. Everything works fine in win95. I have a generic soundcard with a FM-801 chipset. I'm using Forte's 2.00D drivers (newest), Win2k with SP1, DirectX 8, newest via drivers (4.15a i think). Any ideas people? This is driving me crazy... Thanks!

ok i would agree with tank on this one:
here - try this fire up winamp and play a song
then either move a large lump of data across the IDE bus or a large amount of data across the AGP bus (large file copy or vis in winamp) and u should find the sound starts to crackle like hell
if it does then u have the same prob as me i had to live with it until i got a new mobo (VIA KT133 based ABit KT7RAID and a duron)and now its gone but as i said i would agree with tank - its some kind of bus mastering prob - that chipset is simply sh1te one question to tank - does it do it on your systems with the kt133 or just the MVP3????
