ACPI is taking IRQ 9. It's an old 98 SE installation, I currently install 9x without ACPI to reclaim this IRQ. But here the problem are the 4 USB controllers built into the ICH5. I can't change their resources via Device Manager, Windows allows only the "default configuration". They happily share …

Asrock 775i65G built in USB takes 3 IRQs?

I'm doing some tests with the Asrock 775i65G and PCI sound cards, and I found that the 4 USB controllers (the ones built in ICH5) take 3 IRQs (5, 10 and 11) and I can't change them in Windows 98 (installed with ACPI if that matters). Is there anything I can do about this except turning all of them …

Any Windows NT/2K/XP/... system with NVidia 6000 series or earlier ( NV3 to NV44 ) GPUs. SIV will not report NVidia clocks on Windows 9X systems . Given what I clearly specified then I can't understand how you concluded this, I suspect wishful thinking . No, it's the classic TL;DR ;) But now you …

I miss GPU/MEM clocks. It's the only feature I care about for graphics cards. I assume it's doable. So not an issue with identifying it as a 5900. All things are doable if you have infinite time and an infinite budget! As I clearly specified " SIV is designed for Windows NT ". I somehow came to the …

Looks good, there's just not enough space to list all "modes" for 8-bit samples. There's a problem with identifying a GeForce 5900 in this computer. Thank you for the report and if you hover over the Mono + Stereo + there should be a tooltip that shows the full text, is there? I could remove/ …

Here's a screenshot for the YMF719 - looks as expected. As for the 95 machine, I had only a brief moment for testing today, I will return to that one in April (had to split my collection between 3 places, so that my family doesn't kill me).

I will test it on the YMF719 during the weekend, but on my other system (Intel Advanced/EV motherboard with an integrated ViBRA) it shows nothing. A possibly important difference, it's an 95 OSR2 system. EDIT: the "Wave" version of the previous beta reports something. As for the enumerations etc. I …

It looks exactly like what Cool Edit Pro reported, and it's what I've expected. I've tested it with WAVE files with each of these sample rates and all of them worked. I was hoping, Yamaha driver is smart enough to not report the 8/16/32/48 kHz sample rates if the card doesn't have the second …

Can you check, whether the sample rates are correctly reported? SIV reports for the YMF718/YMF719 only: 11250 Hz, 22500 Hz and 44100 Hz. These cards also support 8, 16, 32 and 48 kHz. I'm attaching a screenshot from Cool Edit Pro with all the reported "modes".

Unfortunately, there's no value in the registry for the 98. I've forgotten, 9x uses a totally different driver than 2000 :( Another question. Does SIV report anywhere maximum sample rate for playback and capture of sound cards in Windows 9x? I was hoping MS System Info, DxDiag or DxCapsViewer would …

I gave the Permedia 2 another try. It looks like all of these M/N/P parameters are write-only. I poked around, and their offsets never return anything. But I've seen in previous posts you already know that. I've searched a bit and found some Permedia 2 drivers source code. The Windows driver from …

Not really, as I recall around 27-Aug-2019 I found the attached and did my best to get SIV to report it. Do I understand it correct: the parameters are in ROM and there's no ROM Base Address, so you can't find them? FWIW, HWiNFO 6.2.2 for DOS also reports ROM Base Address as not available. I'm not …

Yeah, it was not the smartest question I've ever asked 😉 It's an ELSA GLoria Synergy, I'm attaching the screenshots - looks like all zeroes. Another question - what means 100% near "Resource Usage"?

Reviews on the Internet mention typically 83 MHz, but there were apparently boards with 90 MHz core clock. @red-ray - can …

Hello! I tested the demo you showed, and it behaves exactly as you told. It's a CMI thing. Some coders, do strange code.
