Problem System hangs during the 16-bit digitized sound test, but it works fine during the 8-bit test.

Cause Your system’s motherboard cannot handle High DMA at full speed. On some machines, the DMA controller on the motherboard does not function properly during High DMA transfers. High DMA transfers on such machines might corrupt the data in main memory and cause the system to hang or encounter a parity error.

Solution Run the Plug and Play configuration utility and select Low DMA in place of the High DMA channel. 16-bit audio data will then be transferred through the Low DMA channel.

When you set your High DMA channel to Low DMA, you will lose the full-duplex operation, which requires two separate DMA channels.
