I have a v-thin computer (under 2.5 inches) and am therefore tightly constrained as to which sound card I can use.
I have been using an old OPTi plug-and-play mpu 401 card,
which is isa - and powerful enough to drive speakers alone.
My Joystick port gives intermittently bad readings (planes crash), so I decided to upgrade. I bought an Avance Logic als4000 equipped cheap sound card.
Problem - I can install the new card without problem - but in
games such as Quake 3 there is now a delay between action and sound ( even the opening crashes are delayed by a fraction).
The delays are also in Quake 2, but running Quake 3 they can be 1 second.
I re-install the isa card and everything works perfectly.
The motherboard is a QDI advance 10 - about a year and a half old.
The processor I am running is a 1.3 G Celeron. I am using Win98.
Can anyone give me pointers as to a fix ?????
