Your sound card is probably trying to use an interrupt that some device on your motherboard is configured to use. I would guess that your sound card and some device on you motherboard (like a serial port or parallel port) are both trying to use IRQ 3,4,5, or 7. Probably the easiest way to troubleshoot exactly where the conflict is would be to install the sound card in Windows and use device manager.

Good luck,

Steve

It is more than likely that the Media vision card is trying to use IRQ 7, which by default is LPT1, if you disable and/or change your parallel port address in bios and then configure the sound card thru win device manager. Default sound card IRQ's are 5 (SB) or 7 (others)
