    Hauppage WinTV/Diamond Supra Modem Incompatible?

    HARDWARE/SOFTWARE
    WinTV PCI card, latest drivers downloaded from the Hauppage website for win98SE. WinTV 2000 software. Motherboard Abit BE6 (latest bios), Matrox millenium g200 16 meg video, P2/450 processor, 256 meg pc100 sdram, SB live platinum.etc DX7. All the drivers are the latest. Modem is/was Rockwell 56k ISA.

    The TV card works brilliantly and has been for some months since new.

    PROBLEM
    The problem is that I wanted to change my modem from ISA to PCI. I purchased a Diamond Supra 56i Pro modem. The old one was de-installed and the new one plugged into a spare pci slot. After reboot but even BEFORE the modem was set up properly, I lost my TV picture and got only a blue TV screen. Audio was still there though. Installed the modem properly and checked that it was not sharing or conflicting with anything else. The modem worked fine but still no picture from the TV card. Disabled the modem and still the same. Unplugged the modem card and TV returned to normal! Further checks involved rotating the TV card and the Supra modem card into different PCI slots and even forcing IRQ changes. The problem is still that if the modem card is plugged in to any slot (enabled or not) the TV card goes legs up. The matrox video card is normally set on 16 bit 1024x768 and have tried all possible combinations.

    Does anyone have a solution for this paradox where each card works brilliantly on its own but as soon as they share the PCI bus, the Hauppage TV card goes blue screen and stops working. The software all appears to function normally and in all other respects the PC is functioning normally with no problems.

    I sent this query to Hauppage and Diamond but have not had any response as yet. Anyone out there got any ideas.? In the meantime I have gone back to my old ISA modem leaving the Supra on the shelf for now.

      i know what you mean. The modem is not incompatible with the hauppage card but the modem will not share motherboard space with anything. On a be6 this can be a prob. I have a bx6 and i cannot have the modem in slot 4 or 5 when there is a card in the other slot 4 or 5. I think the fifth slot shares many of it's resources with the fourth slot so you end up conflicting. With the be6 the problem is more severe due to the ata66 which although does not take a slot, acts like it does. I don't know which lot it shares with but you should avoid putting the modem in there. The problem is that you have five things that want to use bus mastering and you only really have the resources for four (tv card, modem, soundcard, graphics card, ata66 controller) i know that many of the people on this forum would be horrified at this suggestion but if i were you i would try putting the soundblaster in slot 1 next to the graphics card. If you are not using a ata66 drive then switch the controller off and make sure that your hard drive is in the std ide ports. the rest is up to you. just leave either 4 or 5 empty and rearrange until it works. Contrary to my previous statement you may be able to run the hauppage next to the graphics card rather than the live.

        If the ISA works, it's better. PCI modems are lacking chips, and put that load on your processor.
