I'm having trouble INSTALLING the sound (ALS) on my Soyo SY-5EMM mobo. Windows 2k shows errors in device manager for the sound DEVICES, saying that not enough resources are available and that the IRQ's are the culprit(s).  When viewing my IRQ's (including "view hidden devices" option), IRQ 2 (which I believe that is normal to be unshown[reserved]) along with: IRQ's 9, 10, and 11 -are not listed. The troubleshooter for windows' hardware recommends disabling other devices that are CURRENTLY in use; but when I have tried to do that, the newly disabled device's IRQ also DISAPPEARS.  Can anyone help? Hope this is not too stupid a question here.. ::)I'm new to Win 2000 and am sure there is probably a simple answer. Could you possibly be trying to install the incorrect driver?

SY-5EMM

This is not the proper driver:
als-driv.zip
1998-09-14
ALS sound driver

These are the proper drivers:
(They may or may not contain the ALS Sound driver)
via4in1446vp6.exe
2003-04-14
VIA 4 in 1 Driver Package for Win 9x/ME/NT/2000/XP ver:4.46

BTW, how much memory do you have installed?
What CPU is installed (AMD K6 or ??)
