As some of you may know, I recently had to do a reformat/reinstall on my 701C. I've got a problem now with my sound system. In order to use some games with each sound causing a system hang, I need to use the Creative Labs Soundblaster drivers. To use these drivers, I have to have my soundboard set as 0x220, irq 5 or 7, dma channel 0 or 1. Unfortunately, the 701 is set at irq 10, which the drivers can't use. In the BIOS set up screen, on the 3rd page, there is a dialogue fr changing your irq settings. By going to the device and tabbing left or right, it scrolls through various settings, different irqs and dma channels. When I select one, it doesn't change! I always come back to the same settings. I called IBM, who recommended I download the new Audio Features diskettes. I *have* the new diskettes, it's not the software, it's the irq settings! How can I change the darn thing? DOOM, btw, is having no problems, and I can get sound in Windows, but in this game, which worked perfectly before the reformat, and has been reloaded from a virgin disk, I get a little pause after every boom! and pow! Has anyone successfully changed his/her irq assignments? How? Thanks in advance, Emanuel epbrown@suba.com Laptop Central http://www.suba.com/~epbrown
