Creative Audigy and Photoshop Problem

[Debbie]

Hi All,

My son has resently installed an Audigy sound card in his computer (in my opinion a mistake).
He has been using Photoshop for quite some time with no problems.
Ever since he installed the Audigy card artifacts in form of small dashes "-" started to appear wherever there is a fonts layer.
DirectX 8 has made things worse and the only way to solve the issue is to disable the sound card which is not a clever solution.

Setup:
PIII (slot 1) 500 MHz
VIA cipset (probable cause)
256 Mb SDRAM
WinME

Any advice ?

hmm, I have an Audigy and PS and do not see that problem. I am running WinXP and I am using the sound drivers that came with WinXP.

Is your sound card conflicting with your graphics card? What IRQ is each on? Are you running the latest via 4-in-1 drivers?

Sory, forgot to list the video card:
Matrox Rainbow Runner Stodio.

I shall see about the IRQs. VIA 4-in-1 latest update is installed.

PS.
My son just confirmed, No IRQ conflict.

Try moving the card to another PCI slot

Or you could try George's latency fix for VIA chipsets.

(That used to be the VIA Hardware site, and George Breese is a moderator there, you can get the link to his site from the forums there...)
