Bug
Reports and Fixes
Sound Blaster PCI (Ensoniq) card may hang machine or be skipped by ASD
This tip also applies to NTW
Symptom:
If you have a Sound Blaster PCI Ensoniq sound card
and a VIA technologies chipset motherboard your machine may hang when
you install Windows 98 or ASD ( automatic skip driver agent ) may
prevent the loading of the drivers for this card.
Issue:
PCI Steering in Windows 98 is having a problem with
the VIA chipset.
Resolution:
This is a known issue from Creative Labs and VIA
Technologies. To work around this issue, get the IRQ steering update
which is available from th Via website http://www.via.com.tw/drivers,
install it and then install the Ensoniq sound card. As a temporary fix
you may try disabling PCI steering although this may not resolve the
issue. It is recommended that the customer download and apply all
patches from the VIA website that apply for their system.
