Problems with soundcard recognize

[InCreator]

Problem is - AGS is not able to recognize my soundcard. It's that card that's mounted onto Athlon motherboard and has stupid and useless echo thingy. My friend has Athlon board too, a bit newer and he's experiencing same problem. I imagine that it may be connected with fact that IRQ is 11, instead of usual 5, 7 or 10. Some games won't let you have a sound if IRQ is above 10. Or am I wrong?

Anyone else has Athlon/built-in soundcard/problem?

What should I do? I'm getting those "Failed to init Digital driver"  error messages.

try to dl the latest drivers.
and you can trry to cange the IRQ, there should be some jumpers for it on the motherboard.
look in the manual on how to set them.

I have a built in sound card on an ASUS motherboard and although I don't have that specific problem, I did have an issue playing midi sounds at first.

Is it midi sound that doesn't work or just any sound.

check your audio properties and see what your selections are for midi & sound

I also have a PCI soundblaster card installed too so I can switch between, I checked what IRQ's they were on and the built in one is on 17 and the other is on 22, I'm not sure if that makes any difference but someone may know.

I also have a problem that was never solved, possibly regarding sound, when skipping cutscenes the game aborts with no message, but I don't know if it's related to any of this.

Hm. I got around this when used "default waveout device" instead of "default directsound device". But when mp3-song starts (in an AGS game, of course) it sounds like it's coming from badly tuned radio station and starts to play normal as soon as I make character walk or perform any other mouse click.
When playing module music tracks, quality is random. Some tracks play fine, some absolutely not (for example, only hithats ond cymbals are played). weird.
Card is described in Windows devices tab as "C-Media AC97 audio device" and that's all I know about my card. It makes tricks in some non-AGS games, too.
