Creative CT4810 (Vibra128) or Crystal SoundFusion?
I'm trying to use a Creative VIBRA 128 (CT4810) soundboard, but no
way. Using Crystal (Crystal SoundFusion) or Creative drivers, it isn't possible to do this board PLAY on Win98 (although in the Device Manager the device is displayed as functional). The MIDI output (I've a MIDI instrument attached) works OK, but when I try to play some WAVE file (.mp3, .wav, ...), the PC crash (freeze). I've already tryied to change the IRQ, I've used various drivers (as mentioned, some by Creative and others by Crystal), but all have the same behaviour (freeze the PC). I searched in the discussion groups and I found some problems related to this, but all without solution. In Win98, using the Creative driver, the configuration is as follow: - ECS L7VMM2 (motherboard) - The following boards is enabled: ethernet, video and modem (I disabled the onboard soundboard - the connector - jack - is burned) - IRQ's: 00 - system timer 01 - keyboard 02 - programmable interrupt controller 03 - acpi irq's 04 - via vt83c572 pci to usb ... 04 - acpi irq's 04 - via pci to usb ... 05 - creative vibra 128 legacy 06 - floppy controller 07 - lpt1 08 - cmos 09 - irq sci ... 10 - acpi irq's 10 - hsp56 10 - via vt83c572 pci to usb ... 11 - via rhine II ... 11 - via vt83c572 pci to usb ... 11 - creative vibra 128 11 - s3 graphics prosavageddr 12 - ps/2 mouse 13 - numeric data processor 14 - pci ide 14 - pci ide 15 - pci ide 15 - pci ide - DMA's: 01 - creative vibra 128 legacy 02 - floppy controller 04 - dma controller The BIOS configuration: - PnP/PCI Configs - PnP OS Installed: No - Resources Controlled by: Manual - IRQ 3 to 11: Reserved - IRQ 12: PCI Device Now, using the Crystal driver: - IRQ's: 00 - system timer 01 - keyboard 02 - programmable interrupt controller 04 - acpi irq's 04 - via vt83c572 pci to usb ... 04 - via pci to usb ... 05 - acpi irq's 05 - via vt83c572 pci to usb ... 06 - floppy controller 07 - lpt1 08 - cmos 09 - irq sci ... 10 - acpi irq's 10 - hsp56 10 - via vt83c572 pci to usb ... 11 - via rhine 2 ... 11 - via vt83c572 pci to usb ... 11 - crystal soundfusion 11 - s3 graphics prosavageddr 12 - ps/2 mouse 13 - numeric data processor 14 - pci ide 14 - pci ide 15 - pci ide 15 - pci ide - DMA's: 02 - floppy controller 04 - dma controller A BIOS: - PnP/PCI Configs - PnP OS Installed: No - Resources Controlled by: Auto(ESCD) To kill all doubts, I also installed the WinXP in the same machine ... the soundboard was detected as 'Crystal SoundFusion Device' and installed automatically by the OS. For my surprise, when I try to play a WAVE file, the PC freeze as in Win98. Below the resources used by the devices in WinXP: - IRQ's: (ISA) 0 - system timer (ISA) 1 - keyboard (ISA) 6 - floppy controller (ISA) 8 - cmos (ISA) 9 - acpi (ISA) 12 - ps/2 mouse (ISA) 13 - numeric data processor (ISA) 14 - primary ide (ISA) 15 - secondary ide (PCI) 16 - crystal soundfusion(tm) device (PCI) 21 - usb controller (PCI) 21 - usb 2.0 controller (PCI) 22 - hsp56mr (PCI) 16 - via rhine II ... - DMA's: 02 - floppy controller 04 - dma controller The BIOS is configured as follow: - PnP/PCI Configs - PnP OS Installed: No - Resources Controlled by: Auto(ESCD) Can someone help me? |

Creative CT4810 (Vibra128) or Crystal SoundFusion?
Thank you guys for the help. Unfortunately no one of that replies
helped me to solve the problem. In parallel to the discussion groups, I contacted the Cirrus Logic, Creative and ECS. The Cirrus and Creative answered me. Below the messages: ----- message start ------ From: "Cirrus Logic Webmaster" Para: "'Clark Thomas'" Assunto: CS4610 Data: Mon, 19 Jul 2004 11:24:58 -0500 Thank you for visiting Cirrus Logic online. We produce integrated circuits (chips) for consumer entertainment electronics, automotive entertainment and industrial product applications. Please note that we do not manufacture PC video or graphics cards, PC audio cards, modems or graphics chips, and we do not support these products. If you are seeking support for a PC audio or video product or a PCMCIA card, you must contact the manufacturer. We will not be able to assist you. If you don't know the manufacturer of your Cirrus- or Crystal-based product (Crystal Semiconductor was purchased by Cirrus Logic in 1991), you can locate your manufacturer through the Federal Communication Commission (FCC) number, which should be printed on the card itself. This number will appear with FCC ID and the # sign followed by a 17-digit number. The first three characters are all that you need to find your manufacturer; search the FCC database at www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid/. As a convenience to you, we offer an archive of all our available generic audio drivers at www.cirrus.com/en/support/drivers/index.html. We do not provide end-user driver support, and we do not take responsibility for the performance of any drivers, which may have been modified for individual products by the product manufacturer. In order to use these generic drivers, you need to know the Cirrus or Crystal brand part number your audio subsystem is based on. If you do not know the part number, contact the manufacturer of your bundled PC for that information and additional support. If you are seeking Windows-based audio drivers, visit the Microsoft Web site (www.microsoft.com) and do a Search. In many cases, the drivers are available on this Web site. We hope that this information will prove useful to you.
