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.
