T22 crashes on resume after sound driver downgrade

[asiafish]

I am using a T22 with Windows XP Pro. To solve a problem of slow and distorted sound, I forced the installation of the Windows 2000 audio driver, which solved the problem.

Now my computer crashes when I try to resume from hibernation (blue screen memory dump). Is it possible for a sound driver to cause this? Hibernation seams about as unrelated from sound as can be, especially since the computer otherwise works fine.

Also, this morning on boot it would go into the BIOS to reset the time/date, which mysteriously set themselves back to 1980. I thought it could be a dead PRAM battery, but after playing with it for a while it stopped doing that and now otherwise behaves. The resume crashes didn't start until after date/time problem.

The sound drivers were installed two days ago, I don't think I tried hibernation since installing the drivers.

Any suggestions?

Hi there!

Had the same problem om my T22 (which btw has identical specs as yours). After hibernation the BSOD welcomed me. Now the stuttering has almost disappeared, due to a clean reinstall of Win XP pro. Directly after the reinstallment I installed the Power managment drivers, etc. I think the problem lies within IRQs: ACPI and sound shares the same IRQ number.

I was afraid of that, hoped I just install a different driver without going the whole reinstall route.

THanks,
