Hi guys,

I got Orphues sound card with portwell ruby-9719 mobo in Windows Xp, because the limited ioport range this board can handle,
Tiido says here http://www.tmeeco.eu/TKAYBSC/RUBYISA.TXT

So I configured Orpheus sound card to use
WSS port: a34-a37
WSS control port: a38
and this works fine in DOS and Linux.

Windows xp let me chose 4 WSS port range below
0530-0537
0604-060B
0E80-0E87
0F40-0F47
all of them are not reachable for this mobo, when I tried to set port range to 0A34-0A37, I got this message

Is possible to enforce Windows XP use the a34-a37 ports.

Thanks in advance.

Try forcing the 'Computer' type in Device Manager to "Standard PC"...

Also check if the BIOS has the option to disable ACPI (I doubt it).

If you can't change the computer type in Device Manager, you can do it manually by finding hal.dl_ (or hal.dll) in the Windows XP install disc and overwriting your current one (yes, it's already there, but it's just renamed halacpi, which is what windows always does during installation).

Tried to update driver 'Computer' with 'Standard PC' driver, after install all needed drivers and still the same as before.
