Hi everyone,
I am having the following issue with my CT2230: random freezes when playing Doom with Sound Effects enabled. It does not happen if it's just music that it's enabled.
It's not a driver issue since I have also tried with Unisound and I get the same issue.
I do have another SB16, a CT2950, and I do not have any issues with it.
The CD-ROM is set to disabled, while port is 220. I have also tried various combinations of IRQ and DMA and the same freezing issue still happens.
Here are my specs:
Gemlight GMB-486SB
FSB 40MHz
256kbytes L2 Cache 15 dual-banked
Am5x86 @ 160MHz
16MB RAM 60ns (8x2)
VLB Cirrus Logic GD5428
VLB Adaptec 2842A SCSI
It's not a timing issue since even by putting everything to its slowest timings it still happens.
MSD does not show any conflicts.
Truth to be told I haven't tried downclocking the FSB back to 33MHz - I might try it tomorrow. Anyway it was most certainly stable until some weeks ago. PSU is fine. MB was not recapped but I can't see any issues with caps since everything else works fine.
Any helpful tips I might try? I really do not want to blindly recap the entire SB16 - there is a bunch of small value caps all over the card...
Thanks!
