Insufficient 
SoundFont Cache
There is insufficient memory to load SoundFonts.This may occur when a SoundFont-compatible MIDI file is loaded or played.
Cause: There is insufficient memory allocated to SoundFonts.To allocate more SoundFont cache:
On the Options tab of SoundFont Control, drag the SoundFont Cache slider to the right.
The amount of SoundFont cache you can allocate depends on the system RAM available.
If there is still insufficient system RAM available:
On the Configure Banks tab of SoundFont Control, click a smaller SoundFont bank from 
the Select Bank box.  If not, you may need to increase your system’s RAM.
Joystick
The joystick port is not working.The audio card’s joystick port conflicts with the system’s joystick port.To solve this problem:
Disable the audio card’s joystick port and use the system port instead.
The joystick is not working properly in some programs.The program may use the system processor timing to calculate the joystick position.  When the 
processor is fast, the program may determine the position of the joystick incorrectly, assuming 
that the position is out of range. 
						

							Troubleshooting B-7
To solve this problem:
Increase your system’s 8 bit I/O recovery time of the BIOS setting, usually under the Chipset 
Feature Settings section.  Or, if available, you may adjust the AT Bus speed to a slower clock.  
If the problem persists, try a different joystick.
I/O Conflicts
Conflicts between your audio card and another peripheral device may occur if your card and the 
other device are set to use the same I/O address.
To resolve I/O conflicts, change the resource settings of your audio card or the conflicting 
peripheral device in your system using Device Manager in Windows.
If you still do not know which card is causing the conflict, remove all cards except the audio 
card and other essential cards (for example, disk controller and graphics cards).  Add each card 
back until Device Manager indicates that a conflict has occurred.To resolve hardware conflicts in Windows:1. Click Start -> Settings -> Control Panel.
2. Double-click the System icon. The System Properties dialog box appears.
3. Click the Device Manager tab.
4. Click Sound, video and game controllers, and then click the conflicting audio card driver 
(indicated by an exclamation mark).
5. Click the Properties button.
6. Click the Resources tab.
7. Make sure that the Use automatic settings check box is selected, and click the OK button.
8. Restart your computer to allow Windows to reassign resources to your audio card and/or the 
conflicting device.
