I wanted a quiet computer so got a dell optiplex sx270 which is indeed pretty quiet. The sound had crackly suckiness due to integrated card or something, so I got a usb connected sound card instead. Now about once every 4 hours when playing zdoom it gets a blue screen of death 'driver irql not less or equal' mentioning something about sbusb.sys (which I guess is 'sound blaster' hence the sb). What a pain; took forever to upload all the crap I need on this and now it's pretty much useless. If I switch to linux would all these shit problems go away? |

Seems like 90% of problems I've had with computers are due to drivers. |

I would kick them and if they didn't drive anywhere I'd give up. |

If you haven't already, you might want to try reinstalling the driver for your integrated sound card to see if that helps. Try one. Do likewise for your external soundcard. Best drivers can most likely be found on the manufacturers website. |

Thanks- trying it now (first one was for vista but am trying r58182 (r62850 says its for nt 4) since i have xp). I thought maybe the usb just completely overrided the integrated.. but in device manager I noticed the integrated driver said it wasn't signed so I uninstalled it. (maybe leaving the integrated driver uninstalled is all that is necessary, or maybe I have to install a new driver for it since I guess I'm not using the integrated one anyway anymore). I'll have to test to see if it works by playing doom about 4 hours again, but I was planning to play 500 million hours anyway... That'll be great if this works. |

I think you very well may have fixed it and saved me a huge time consuming pain. 1 hr of doom playing down. |

Uninstall and deactivate internal sound card. It'll still be around in the settings somewhere. |

Whoa, I didn't even notice I'd linked to the Vista driver. I feel dirty. |

As soon as I did a windows update and got a prompt to download windows (which I declined), I hated XP. Now I can't get anymore updates unless I get that. I probably have genuine windows but suspect it'd be annoying with popups and all sorts of crap, plus my windows is oem so don't know if i have to provide some serial number or something. I got a creative sound blaster sb0270 or something usb card. This avatar does suck but was an experiment to get motion within motion. I'll try to uninstall and deactivate the internal sound card if this driver fails (I guess via the 'uninstall hardware' icon since I'm not even sure if this case is physically openable). |

You could also try re-installing the internal sound card and then deactivating it, if that doesn't work... |
