I'm having a very odd problem. My audio in windows XP consists of a constant very loud hissing noise (sounds like a tv tuned to a static station with the volume way up), though if you play with the drivers you can sometimes hear windows sounds underneath the hiss. While my audio in Mandriva is just ok, but very distorted.
I have a compaqR3000 AMD64. I formatted the hard drive to a 00 condition, then used a partition program to create a 20gig NTFS, 1 gig linux swap, and 19 gig EXT3.
I installed XP home and all was well. Audio worked fine.
I installed Mandriva 2006, and it seemed to hang around the configuration point. I rebooted into the KDE desktop and the sound was distorted. I rebooted into XP and could only hear the loud hissing.
After many hours of trouble shooting I simply deleted my partitinos, recreated them, and reinstalled windows. Same problem. Same messed up audio even without Linux installed.
I suspect that Mandriva changed my soundcards settings in such a way that windows can't really use it, but I'm really not sure.
Any and all help is much appreciated.
Cheers,
Ted
EDIT: I ran a command called lspic, or something simialar, and it spit out a bunch of system specs. For my audio/multimedia controller I noticed this:
interrupt is pin A routed to IRQ 201.
Is that even possible? I didn't think IRQ's went that high. 201.
