Sound Card Beeps During Hardware Detection (146609)
The information in this article applies to:
This article was previously published under Q146609 SYMPTOMS
When you are installing Windows 95 on a computer with a sound card, the
sound card may beep intermittently during the hardware detection portion
of Setup.
CAUSE
Setup may leave the sound card in an unsteady state during the hardware
detection portion if the sound card is set to use a non-standard I/O range.
RESOLUTION
Typically, the beeps cease shortly after hardware detection is finished. In
some cases, however, the computer may stop responding (hang), requiring you
to restart the computer. In either case, run Setup again and choose Safe
Recovery when you are prompted.
After you run Setup, set the sound card for a standard I/O range and
install the drivers, if available, using the Add New Hardware tool in
Control Panel.
For information about setting the sound card to a standard I/O range,
please refer to the sound card's documentation or manufacturer.
MORE INFORMATION
You may also encounter the behavior described in this article if you
install a new sound card and run the automatic hardware detection routine
in an existing installation of Windows 95.
