RE: [GD-Windows] DirectSound(3D) and Windows XP, known problems?

[Tom F. <to...@mu...>]

Changing PCI slots forces the IRQ arbitration to be re-done, so it solves a
suprising number of conflicts on all sorts of cards.

This combo is (a) incredibly common and (b) prone to problems. Randomly
installing drivers and moving PCI slots usually eventually sorts it, but
it's all just voodoo, and in some cases I've had to simply turn hardware
sound accelleration off completely, so DSound is doing the mixing in
software and using the legacy (but reliable) WaveOut stuff.
