This article was previously published under Q136555 SYMPTOMS
When you are using Windows 95 on a computer with a Philips CD-ROM drive
connected to a Media Vision Fusion 16 sound card, you may experience delays
when you start Media Player or CD Player. The length of the delay varies
from 5 seconds to 1 minute, and is typically longer when a data CD-ROM is
in the CD-ROM drive, or the drive is empty.
CAUSE
This problem is known to occur with this hardware configuration when the
sound card is configured to use IRQ 11 or IRQ 15. The problem appears to
be caused by a resource conflict, although the problem is not IRQ-specific
and may occur even when no other device is configured to use the same IRQ
as the sound card.
RESOLUTION
To work around this problem, configure the Media Vision Fusion 16 sound
card to use a different IRQ. Make sure to choose an IRQ that is not used
by another device. For information about changing the sound card's IRQ
setting, please contact the hardware manufacturer.
MORE INFORMATION
When you are using a Philips CD-ROM drive connected to a Media Vision
Fusion 16 sound card, real-mode drivers for the CD-ROM drive must be loaded
in the Config.sys and Autoexec.bat files.
