Digi sharing IRQ With video Card

[Olly J]

Here are my IRQ's at the moment
0 System Clock
1 Keyboard
2 Programmable interrupt controler
3 Com 2
4 Com 1
5 SB16 Emulation
6 Floppy disk controller
7 ECP Printer Port
8 System CMOS/Real time clock
9 SCI IRQ used by ACPI bus
10 SUP2850 PCI Modem Enumerator
Creative SB Live! Series
VIA Tech 3038 PCI to USB Universal Host Controller (appears twice)
ACPI IRQ Holder for PC IRQ Steering (appears twice)
11 Digidesign Digi001
Nvidia GeForce2 Ultra
ACPI IRQ Holder for PCI IRQ Steering
12 PS/2 Compatible Mouse
13 Numeric Data processor
14 VIA Bus Master PCI IDE Controller
Primary IDE Controller (dual fifo)
15 VIA Bus Master PCI IDE Controller
Secondary IDE Controller (dual fifo)

The DIGI001 is in slot 1. Modem in slot 3. SBLIVE! in 4 and the Extra 2 USB ports are in slot 5 due to some extra cable connected to the motherboard. [img]images/icons/rolleyes.gif[/img]

I have a similar situation with a GeForce card. The bizarre thing is I have an open IRQ that Windows isn't using at ALL, and I can't assign that IRQ to the Digi, or anything! IRQs are a tool of the devil!

I'm beginning to really want a Mac... [img]images/icons/tongue.gif[/img]

do you have the a7m or a7v board? assuming it's the a7v266, you need to force digi001 to IRQ9.

Move the Digi card to slot 2. boot the system and enter BIOS setup by pressing Delete during POST. go to the advanced menu, using the arrow keys, then go do down to PCI Configuration, using the arrow keys again and press enter. Goto the second menu item, titled Slot 2 IRQ and change this to IRQ 9. Do this by pressing enter, moving down to IRQ 9 then pressing enter again to select the option. Press F10 to exit the BIOS setup program and select Yes to save changes. The system will now reboot and if you check your IRQ's again, the digi001 should appear on IRQ9.

PS. if you get lost, read the ASUS manual. They're pretty good.
