finaldesign 0 Report post Posted November 11, 2004 Hi all,I have some old soundcard: AudioExcel Theatre, PCI,5+1... and after installing winxp sp2, every time when i reboot, I have to enter safe mode and disable that soundcard because it wont boot. Then when winxp boot's, I need to enable that soundcard manualy to get sound working... Soundcard drivers are ok, and everything seems to be ok with card. Before sp2 everything was ok... And I doubt that there are some newer drivers on internet... So anyone had some idea how to solve this conflict? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
campusjunk 0 Report post Posted November 11, 2004 How old is this card, maybe its fighting wth something else. You could try removing other components (modem, network card....etc) and see if it will boot with the sound... but with out other component. You could also check the conflicks in device manager... that usually doent happen in xp though... so... Good luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Everything (modem, network, and the other soundcard) is embeded on motherboard... So only soundcard and TV-card are on PCI slots. I have 3 slots: on first is TV card, second is empty, and on third is that troublemaker soundcard... really out of options there... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I will look for drivers myself then I'll will tell you that site as long as I found it. but the easy way to solve that problem is to change your soundcard, since it is an old version eh. for you convenience that's my suggestion but i will still look for the update driver for your soundcard...
