I have the same problem in Win95 with my PAS16: I will check my DMA. Would this also cause weird volume problems? Any games I play with animation sequences in them (EarthSiege2, Connections, etc.) have very soft sounds even at full volume, but when the movies play the sound gets really loud, ie the volume I'd expect. I usually configure my card as a SoundBlaster, but that didn't help. Maybe it is something else? murp...@ns.vvm.com wrote: > > Please Help, > > My PAS16 has worked flawlessly for years in my 486, but now that I installed it in my > new P90 PCI/EISA System, I get a Loud Krackling Noise with certain games when using > 16 bit sound, ie Duke3d & C&C Etc. > > It works ok in Win95 with 16bit sound just fine.
