ironman666 0 Posted July 10, 2003 Hey everyone. Whenever I play Starcraft online the game crashes during intense battles. The BSOD I get says that the file that crashes is QSoftAudio.sys. So that seems to be audio related. I have a Philips SonicEdge 605 sound card. I have the latest drivers installed. I've tried moving the card to various PCI slots and that didn't help. The only way I can play the game w/o crashing is by disabling the soundcard (from Device Manager of course). Does anyone know what else I could try? I have AC'97 audio integrated in the motherboard (it's disabled, btw), should I try that sound card instead? Any help will be appreciated. Share this post Link to post
DS3Circuit 0 Posted July 10, 2003 I run Starcraft fine on my Philips Acoustic Edge with the 1.86 WHQL drivers. What patch level is starcraft at and what version of Direct X you got running? Share this post Link to post
ironman666 0 Posted July 10, 2003 I have DX 9a and i think i have patch 1.07 Share this post Link to post
ironman666 0 Posted July 10, 2003 Another thing, the error at the top of the BSOD says something like: IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL hope that helps... Share this post Link to post
dave.green1 0 Posted July 10, 2003 Could be an IRQ conflict somwhere..... Share this post Link to post
ironman666 0 Posted July 11, 2003 I was thinking about that too. I have on board audio (AC'97), but its disabled (BIOS). Device Manager doesn't show any errors in the IRQ settings (i.e. no conflicts). I'll check some more settings. Share this post Link to post
sapiens74 0 Posted July 11, 2003 Turn the hardware accelration down in the Control Panel. Also run DX9 diag test to check for any issues. If that fails try your onboard sound. You can always creat an additional hardware profile to use when you want to play starcraft Share this post Link to post
