O.S = Windows 95b 233 mhz CPU 160 mb ram My sound card is Creative Sound Blaster 16 or Awe32. It doesnt work if I enable PnP in my BIOS. I have reserved IRQ 5 for isa/legacy devices. If I disable PnP, sound card works but internet connection hangs. My DSL wont work. I have run the upgrade s/w sbw9xup.exe/Upddrv95.exe. Still Device manager shows Sound card with yellow exclamatory mark with message "This device is not present, not working properly, or does not have all the drivers installed. See your hardware documentation. (Code 24.) Thanks in advance for any suggestions Venkat

You need to change the irq setting in the device manager i had this problem i set the irq to 7 and now it seem's to work fine. You need to right click on the one with the yellow exclamatory mark on it and select properties then click on the tab that say's RESOURCES and untick automatic setting's and select a different one till you get one that work's. I hope this help's

It doesn't work for me. I dont have any other free IRQ than 5. 00 System timer 01 Standard 101/102-key or Microsoft Natural Keyboard 02 Programmable interrupt controller 03 Communications Port(COM2) 04 Communications Port(COM1) 05 Creative Sound Blaster 16 or AWE-32 06 Standard Floppy Disk Controller 07 Printer Port (LPT1) 08 System CMOS/real time clock 09 STB Velocity 128 09 IRQ Holder for PCI Steering 10 NETGEAR FA311/FA312 PCI Adapter 10 IRQ Holder for PCI Steering 11 Standard Universal PCI to USB Host Controller 11 IRQ Holder for PCI Steering 12 Microsoft PS2 Mouse with Wheel 13 Numeric data processor 14 Inter 82371AB PCI Bus Master IDE Controller 14 Primary IDE controller (dual fifo) 15 Inter 82371AB PCI Bus Master IDE Controller 15 Secondary IDE controller (dual fifo) Any other suggestions? The puzzle is, my system was working fine for months with all the current hardware software and due to a virus problem, I reformatted hard drive a reinstalled windows 95 and now the sound is not working!! Thanks in advance.......
