How to: Resolve a plug-and-play sound card memory address conflict.
Solution:
Open the 'Device Manager', and select the sound card driver. Change the memory address settings for the sound card to unassigned addresses, and restart Windows 95.

4) Click the 'Resources' tab, and, if the 'Use automatic settings' check box is selected, clear it.

NOTE: Most sound cards use two or more different memory addresses.
6) If you do not know which memory address is causing the conflict, view assigned Input/Output ranges to determine which memory address is involved in the conflict. The memory address involved in the conflict will have a yellow circle with a black exclamation mark in its center on its icon.
7) Select a new memory address from the list of available memory addresses in the 'Value' drop-down list box, and click 'OK'.
NOTE 1: If you have a real mode driver loaded in the AUTOEXEC.BAT for the sound card, you will need to make changes to the real mode driver to reflect the memory address change(s) in step 7). Refer to the sound card user manual for instructions on how to configure a real mode driver for the sound card.
NOTE 2: If the 'No Modifications Allowed' message box appears, this resource cannot be changed and you will have to change the memory address on the other device that is configured to use this memory address.
8) Click 'Yes' to restart Windows 95.
