    M-Audio Audiophile2496 soundcard help

    Hi

    i run this soundcard in my PC for low latency MIDI and overall studio quality sound...

    24-bit/96kHz digital sound....

    http://www.maudio.co.uk/products/en_...phile2496.html


    My friend got an external midi/soundcard so i was lucky enough to get a spare audiophile2496 from him...

    I read that you can run upto FOUR of these soundcards to add further midi devices and share the load across the cards DSP chip


    PROBLEM....

    runs with one card in BUT if both are installed my PC wont boot! totally annoying


    anyone got any ideas? it could be an IRQ problem maybe??

    i have no idea how to solve this.....

    any help will be great!

    Do the cards work ok individually?
    If so, try switching slots, but there really shouldn't be an irq issue if these are the only pci cards in there, unless there's something in the bios causing conflicts with irqs.

        thanks guys

        I have tried both cards individually - both are fully functional

        i do have a PCI usb card underneath - i could loose that i guess, i only put it in as it was lying about....


        looks like i need one card as master and the rest need to sync in to work...

        looks like i might have to buy a S/PDIF cable to do this???


        if need be i can open the bios and list the IRQ's.... what is the most items you should see on ONE IRQ? i think i seen 3 or 4 on one!

        cheers

          Perhaps you could better explain 'PC wont boot'? Does it start at all, or lock up on windows loading/start up?

            oh yes.... i should have mentioned that

            it will POST then try to load windows then it will reboot itself before the windows progress bar splash appears and will loop like this

                    Re: M-Audio Audiophile2496 soundcard help

                    Is there any way you can boot into safe mode (F8) before it reboots?
