    I just bought and installed this card, but now I'm getting crackling noises from my sound card. I'm sure the video card must be the problem because I've tried 3 different sound card, and all give me the same problem! HELP! <IMG SRC="smileys/eek.gif">

    I remember reading something about it, don't know for sure, perhaps in Geforcefaq.<br>
    Or was it in powerstrip.txt? If that's the case it's about pci latency, and you have to increase it in powerstrip.ini . I'l repost saturday with more detail if anyone else doesn't answer your question.

    I have this problem sometimes too.<br>
    I change the soundcard's hardwarespeedup and conversion quality under advanced audio.<br>
    Mostly this does the trick.<br>
    I did not know about pic latency, ill look into that one.<br>

    Well, it was a PCI Latency problem. I checked the GeForce faq and found that out, and a way to fix it. Well, semifix anyway. Under my IBM ESS Solo-1 PCI soundcard it works fine now. However, there's still crackling when I use my Creative Sound Blaster 16 PCI.<br>

    Here's the file. It's for Windows 9x. Just unzip this then create a shortcut to it in your Windows Startup folder. This file should set your PCI Latency to 0.<br>

    Before I forget...<br>
    This file was intended for those running MPV3 Via chipsets. Right now I'm running an AMD K6-2 450mhz with 128mb RAM on a Tyan 1590S Trinity motherboard.

    TNT2 M64<br>
    AWE32 (ISA)<br>

    similar my problem. i have noise from my sound card (AWE32) after install anything. first time i think this problem from my mother board<br>
    (or anything my hardware) i tried than 20-30 different but the problem not loss. Finally i guess i correct at DMA of AWE32 in 'Deveice Manager' you must abort 'HIGH DMA Channel' and use 'LOW DMA Channel' ONLY.<br>
    <br>
    ** note ** <br>
    AWE32 use...<br>
    HIGH DMA=3 &lt;---- must abort<br>
    LOW DMA=5<br>
    (and another resource use by default PNP)<br>
    <br>
    PS. good luck my friend <IMG SRC="smileys/biggrin.gif"> <br>
