TV Tuner users?

[DDRGamer]

Hi peeps,

I've a Hauppauge 1250-HVR that I was hoping to reintegrate into my PC (and hopefully use a PS2 without actually buying a TV - go cheap me)

It's a PCIEx1 card (and I have a slot for it), but when I plugged it in, my Xonar DG (on PCI) somehow disappeared entirely from my Device Manager.

I unplug the TV Tuner card, boot up and my speakers work again.

Any ideas from Tuner users?

XFX 2GB 7850
ASUS Xonar DG (PCI)

AH! The old TV Capture Card Vs Sound Card IRQ Conflict - LOL

Either try disabling all unused Ports (EG: Coms, Fireware, ... etc) in BIOS on the main board that is Free Up IRQ's or assign IRQ's - Also you may run into Win GUI Driver Conflicts between your Video, TV and Sound Cards.

A Mainboard with good IRQ assignment helps. Sometimes changing slot positions of the Sound Vs TV Tuner Card works - It all depends how the MB BIOS assigns IRQ's.

I run the Hauppague WinTV 1250 PCIe on an Asus P8Z68V-Pro Gen3 and disable Fireware and Coms in Bios and let Win Assign IRQ's - Works Great and love that Hauppage 1250 WinTV Tuner - I've been running TV Tuner Capture Cards since Win95A ;o)

Wow. I haven't messed with IRQs in ages. Not fun times back in the day.

Apologies for not responding sooner - in my 10ish years of computing, I guess I hadn't ever built up enough peripherals that IRQ conflicts became an issue...

Thanks for the suggestion; I'll definitely check it out!
