I/O addresses, interrupts, and DMA channels are the most common hardware resources used by peripheral devices.
Base I/O address | 220H
Interrupt | IRQ 5
8-bit DMA | Channel 1
| When different peripheral devices use the same hardware resources at the same time, the devices and/or the system may not function properly. You can resolve hardware conflicts by ensuring that no devices are configured to use the same hardware resources. These resources can either be dipswitch or jumper settings on the peripheral card or software configurable resources. The Computer Setup selection of your Compaq Utilities allows you to view and modify the settings for the peripheral devices factory installed in your computer. Refer to the User's Guide for the particular peripheral cards you wish to install for information on how to view and select their settings. To resolve hardware conflicts: Change the hardware settings of your audio card or other peripheral card in your system. Make sure the peripheral card is using any settings used by the factory-installed devices. If you are unsure of the settings of the peripheral cards, you can isolate the source of the problem by temporarily removing all cards not manufactured by Compaq, or resetting the default settings and running Compaq Utilities. After that, add the cards back one at a time until the card that is causing the conflict is found. Return to Troubleshooting without diagnostics
