Somebody put a message here a while back suggesting tht you turn DMA 
buffering OFF. I have had the same problem as you, but it seemed to work 
after playing with it for a while (I don't know if the buffer thing works or 
not)

Try disabling DMA buffering in the SFX setup program.

Try loading the driver TAPIATI.COM which comes with the card.

These two work for me.

	I had the same problem, but none of the solutions mentioned
worked.  Since many of the programs I have showed this problem I called
ATI.  After describing the problems they suggested I upgrade the software
that came with the card and also try their newer BIOS chip.  I then picked
this up from them (at no charge! :-)  )  and installed it.  The chip seems to 
improved my sound card performance... i.e. the card now plays full DOOM
sound (I don't think it plays the stereo sound though) and Windows sound
support.  There are still a number of problems, but I am getting closer to a 
solution.
	Anyways, the moral of the story is call ATI and describe the 
problem.  They will mail you the necessary software/hardware to aid you
in solving your problem.

	Hope this helps.

Check all your cards and see if you have one set to IRQ-2. If so, move it
to a different IRQ. This worked for me. I had the exact same problem (using
both an original SB and a Logitech SoundMan 16).

Obtain a new ROM from ATI.  The version that solved my problem was 2.09.  The
old version that didn't work was something like 1.01.  You can use the
sinfo.exe program to determine which ROM you have.  I suspect that the ATI BBS
in Toronto (you know, your town) should have the updated ROM file (sorry, I
don't have the number handy).

And by the way, the sounds are fannnnntastic.

Good luck,
	Alex
