Onboard sound IRQ (Asus A7v600)

[Xogun]

I want to play old games that must have their sound configured with the soundcard settings. My onboard soundcard IRQ is 11, but almost all of this games have a list of IRQs to choose on their soundsetup interface, that goes of 1 to 7. So, I need to change onboard sound IRQ. How I do that?

My configuration is:

Athlon XP 2400
Mother Asus A7V600
512 Mb RAM
Windows XP

Please help, in the name of those old fashion games that we all love.

I think what you are trying to do may be very diffcult. Onboard sound doesnt like you to change the IRQ settings. It may be possible to do this in bios or it may be posssible in the device manager under properties for the sound then under resources

Well... I agree that its difficult. I already seek on device manager and it just let me see the IRQ, but don´t change it. And the Bios seems to be not clear for me. I look every option displaied and can´t find anything that changes the IRQ.
On my old Win 98 I could change the IRQs on the Device Manager, but on my XP don´t. Can it be a locked function on XP or it´s just because the sound is onboard and its IRQ can´t be changed?

if ti cant be changed in device manager its a locked function. You would be better served to go get a pci sound card that allows or installs in the IRQ 1 to 7 range

Yep... guess I´ll have to buy a sound card. Well, thank´s for help.

Xogun, you need en emulator. In windows nt and later you cannot access your hardware directly, even if you managed to set up correct irqs windows would not let you play any sound in dosbox. I have used VDMSound with great success. Look at http://www.ece.mcgill.ca/~vromas/vdmsound/

Have nice day with all those goblins, indiana jones' and test drives :-)
