Re: AWE64 making loud noise on bootup
Hello,
I have this problem too, I think. Mine makes load noises, clicks, hisses and pops
after the driver loads and the noise becomes extremely noticable when hard drive
activity occurs or I move the mouse. Unloading the driver once it has loaded makes no
difference. This only started happening after I put in a Creative Modem Blaster
connected to the AWE64. It worked perfectly before that. I'm too lazy to reopen the
case and try moving the cards and cables to see it improves the situation.
"Strangely" it works perfectly under Windows.
Try moving any cables attached to the card and see what happens.
Hope this helps
Bill Cooper
