DOCUMENT:Q135534 17-DEC-2000 [win95x] TITLE :Adding Media Vision ProAudio Spectrum Decreases Performance PRODUCT :Microsoft Windows 95.x Retail Product PROD/VER: OPER/SYS: KEYWORDS: ====================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The information in this article applies to: - Microsoft Windows 95 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SYMPTOMS ======== After you add a Media Vision ProAudio Spectrum sound card to your computer, Windows 95 performance may seem to decrease. CAUSE ===== There may be a DMA conflict between the sound card and another device. ProAudio Spectrum sound cards have a Thunder chip set that can use only DMA channel 1. If another device is already using DMA channel 1, there is a resource conflict. RESOLUTION ========== Because the ProAudio Spectrum sound card must use DMA channel 1, you must reconfigure the other conflicting device to use a different DMA channel.
