Just a question about some inconsistencies I'm finding in a customer's
computer. The pc is a generic no name clone with WIN98 upgrade installed.
The symptoms are exhibited thusly:
1. "Native" wav files such as "tada", "chimes", "ding" plays
at a normal volume.
2. "Non-native" wav files such as "The Windows Sound" or
"The Welcome" play at a significantly reduced volume. So
quiet in fact, that about the only way to hear it is to
place the speaker in your ear. No sound settings have
been adjusted while playing the two different types of
files.
The sound card is an ESS-1688 and interestingly will only use IRQ 7.
Uninstalling and reinstalling the driver made no difference. I ended up
moving LPT1 to IRQ 5, I/0 278 in the bios. As a note, midi files seem to
have no problems being played.
Hints, pointers, suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Keith
