I have an Aureal vortex 2 sound card and a 775i65g motherboard. I have another sound card (Cirrus Logic CS4281) that works just fine with that motherboard. What I did today, was replace the CS4281 card with the vortex 2 (so exact same config, just with a different sound card). The problem is that …

Thanks a lot for the responses! So this isn't as straightforward as I thought - that I could just plug an HDMI cable into the monitor connected to the retro PC (not the PC itself), and the other end of the HDMI cable into the USB capture card, which in turn is plugged USB into my modern PC (on which …

It won't 'stress' anything, but only 3 CPUs are supported for that configuration --> https://www.asrock.com/mb/intel/775i65g/#CPU Aren't there newer revisions of that board that add support for a lot of C2Ds, most of which are 1066 FSB?

I have a 775i65g motherboard. As far as I can see with 800 FSB CPU, there should be no issues. But the manual says, "FSB1066-CPU is supported by overclocking only when you adopt an external VGA card and DDR400 CL2.5 memory modules.". Is this a bad thing? I mean, will having a 1066 CPU stress out the …

I had a similar issue. This seems to be an issue with using 8738 cards. First thing you can try is setting the sound blaster settings for SB pro in the sound settings. Try changing the irq to 5. If the sound settings is not available, try using prince of Persia v1.2. It should have the sound config …
