I admit that I know just enough to be dangerous and get into trouble. I have a PC tower with on-board audio. This PC is a hand me down, I didn’t build it. The audio has never worked. Wether I disable HDA in the Bios or not seems to make no difference. I want audio so I bought a PCIe Creative Audigy 5.1 soundblaster card.
My MoBo is XFX w/ Nvidia SLI... It has a BFG GeForce GTX285 vid card in PCIe 1 & the vid card covers PCIe2. There was a TP-link WiFi in PCIe4 when I got the PC. The wifi works. I put the new Sounblaster in open slot PCIe3, booted Windows10, set up drivers from the CD and I have sound, but the WiFi isn’t found by Windows. I swapped the WiFi into PCIe3, soundcard in PCIe4. Wifi works but no soundcard. Thus PCIe3 overrides PCIe4.
in the Bios PCI is set to Automatic... I assume there is a conflict between PCIe3 & PCIe4 with PCIe3 as the “winner”. It’s an American Megatrends Bios.
How can I get both PCIe slots to work simultaneously?
I’m happy to provide more spec info. Thank you, Michal
