Audigy kills network connection
This morning I turned off the motherboard audio, removed the drivers, and
installed an Audigy Gamer in my 3 GHz Intel D865PERL based computer. It works great and sounds much better and quieter than the Intel motherboard audio. Trouble is, it also kills my network connection. When I try an ipconfig /renew, I get the message "An operation was attempted on something that is not a socket". If I pull the card and roll Windows XP Pro back to yesterday everything is OK again. As soon as I stick the card back in, Windows installs a driver (or something!), which causes the problem to reappear. There's no hardware conflict (network is dead with drivers and no card) - just some software problem. I've looked in the MS Knowledgebase and searched Google, but none of the solutions there worked for me.I've been going around and around with this since noon and need a clue. Any ideas will be much appreciated. |

This morning I turned off the motherboard audio, removed the drivers, and installed an Audigy Gamer in my 3 GHz Intel D865PERL based computer. Possibly, the drivers you removed also control the network interface. You really don't HAVE to either disable onboard sound or remove any drivers; windows handles multiple sound devices just fine. You just select the one you want in the control panel's sound and sound units applet and that's it. Let the drivers stay and see if the network interface still works. If not, come back here and we'll see what can be done. |

Try disabling Hyper-Threading on the CPU. This has come up in the Audigy
newgroup at nntp://news.creative.com. 'tis been fixed according to Creative a while ago with driver updates. "JustDave" wrote in message .. .

You mention disabling the sound - are you doing it in the bios?

Any ideas will be much appreciated. Thanks to everyone for their suggestions. No luck yet. Diabling Hyperthreading - no help. Letting both sets of drivers load - no help. Leaving both sound cards in ( onboard enabled or disabled in BIOS) or out, no difference. If the latest version drivers downloaded from Creative are loaded, the network doesn't run - audio hardware or none. Tried different versions of the network driver. MB BIOS is up to date (had the problem with an earlier version, too). Losing mind quickly... |

Remove the card, [pwer up - disable the sound in the bios - go into
windows - remove the drivers for the card. Then power down - put the card in a different slot - power up - install drivers. "JustDave" wrote in message m...

I've tried every open slot, I've tried a different network card and driver, I've tried everything everybody has suggested. Anybody know anything about the Turtle Beach Catalina? Only $57.99 on eBay, and it's beginning to look mighty good... |

When I try ipconfig /renew, I get the message "An operation was attempted on something that is not a socket" Maybe Winsock got/gets corrupted somehow(?). This error is certainly mentioned in Microsoft's Knowledge Base article 811259: http://support.microsoft.com/default...&Product=winxp A long shot, perhaps, but maybe it's your answer... |

"Karen Parker" wrote in message ... On Sat, 10 Jul 2004 18:19:37 GMT, "JustDave" Read my post regarding the Firewire port as that screwed up my Net connection.. It has to be disabled.. I recently did a clean install of XP HE sp1. I had to tell it to use the LAN card instead of the 1394(nothing connected to it) several times. Very irritating. I don't think you have to disable the 1394 just make a new connection through the LAN and possibly make it the default or delete the connection through the 1394. Don't have access to that computer at the moment. |
