    Troubleshooting This section addresses potential problems that can occur in all operating system environments, with emphasis on hardware troubleshooting. Within the PC environment there are a limited number of hardware resources (I/O addresses, IRQs, and DMA channels) available for use. Since audio cards require many resources, most audio card installation problems arise from unavailable or improperly set resources.

If relocating your card to another PCI slot does not cure the DiO 2448’s conflict(s), then you must do some further investigation to determine the exact nature of the conflict(s).

Typically, if you move one of the conflicting cards to another PCI slot, an IRQ conflict will disappear.
