What type of card. Some aren't compatible. ISA cards aren't always too
brilliant.
(2) I'm getting noise that sounds like static when I play a CD.
The
problem is not the speakers since I get the same interference when I
plug in headphones instead. Also, this problem does not occur when I
boot Windows XP on the same machine and play the same CD using Windows
Media Player or iTunes. The static (which sounds like something on a
cheap radio) stops during gaps between songs so I've assumed it has
something to do with the volume settings.
If it didn't work on either, I'd have said a bad sound card. But
perhaps it's drivers that aren't very good. There's also a chance that
your CD-ROM and it aren't that compatible, if other things play sound
fine.
