System hangs during the 16-bit digitized sound test, but
it works fine during the 8-bit test.
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.
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.
No sound is heard when running your audio card's
Windows applications.
One or more of the sound drivers might not be included
in the SYSTEM.INI file.
Check the SYSTEM.INI file. To do so:
1. On the File menu in Program Manager, click Run.
2. Type SYSEDIT in the Command Line box and
click the OK button.
