Re: Audio Recording & Video Problem.

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Hi hobbesmarcus,
I had similar problems and found two things that helped.
First, if you have a sound card, go into the BIOS and make sure your onboard
audio is set to "disabled" not "auto".
Second, I discovered that the graphics card and the sound card were sharing
the same IRQ. I moved the sound card to the farthest slot away from the
graphics card. Now the graphics card and sound card do not share the same
IRQ. On my computer, the graphics card now shares the IRQ with the modem and
the sound card shares with the LAN network card. This does not appear to
cause a conflict and I no longer have any graphics or sound related
problems. I don't know if it will help you, but, I figure it's worth a try.
